How to Program Viewsat
Viewsat sells a number of satellite receivers that allow you to tune in and watch Free To Air (FTA) satellite televisions channels from across the globe. Unlike subscription satellite channels, you do not need to pay for accessing FTA channels. The following instructions are for the Viewsat 2000 satellite receiver, but the programming process is similar across the Viewsat range of products.
