How to Load FTA Files
FTA, or free-to-air, is a satellite option that accepts unencrypted satellite signals. FTA is different from pay-to-use services such as Dish Network and DirecTV that use encryption to protect the programming obtained by the product service. However, in order to keep your FTA receiver up-to-date, you must load FTA files onto the hardware. Once you obtained the FTA files from the receiver's manufacturing website, it is simple to upload the content to the receiver.
