The following channels on DN have moved to Nagra 3 encryption.467,895,5891,9990 are black while others are still good!!
Expect DN to have all channels moved to N3 by June or July of 2009.
This was expected as Bev has already moved all of their channels to the new Nagra 3 encryption.
Remember, Galaxy 123 is an alternative since it does not use encryption and is a true fta satellite.

BEV Changes Encryption to N3
The BEV satellites have switched encryption from Nagra 2 to Nagra 3. What this means is they are replacing the cards for receivers.
As previously posted, for a true FTA satellite check out http://www.lyngsat.com/galaxy18.html among other sats.

FTA Free to Air Satellite Video Tutorial
In the past posts, I have given some information on FTA Satellites and FTA Receivers.
I was recently on YouTube and came across some videos that explain FTA and FTA Receiver Setup.
The first two just explain FTA. What it is? What you can receive, etc.
This third video shows how to setup a nFusion Receiver.
Finally, you can just do a search for FTA Receiver Setup Here. You should be able to find setup information or videos with that link.

True FTA Satellites in North America
True FTA Satellites in North America.
So you have your receiver and a dish. Now what satellites can you aim for and receive channels? Well lets look at North American satellites since that is where I am from and have some experience with these.
First, we can head over to Lyngsat to find a satellite or two. In the middle of the page,we see Frequencies,Packages,and SatTracker. Let's click on America.
Now we can see all coordinates and satellie names like Galaxy,DirecTV,Dish,AMC,etc.
We want the true FTA Channels. So lets start with Galaxy 18 Satellite.
Now what we are really looking for are true free channels. So what we want to look at is the column that reads "encryption. It would be the fifth column over that says video encryption. We then look for the F symbol which appropriately stands for FREE!!!
Scrolling about 2/3 down the page we can see the broadcast stations that are free.
This is a very popular satellite in the FTA community. Once you get tuned in, sit back and watch your free tv. Who needs cable or a satellite subscription.
Galaxy 14 and 13 also have some free channels among others. Just click your browser back to the sat listings and browse until you find satellites that have programming you like. Be sure to look for the "F" sign though. You don't want the encrypted ones.

How to find satellite coordinates
Finding satellites
When you set up your dish and receiver you will need to know what satellites are available and have a good idea of where they are located. One good resource is Lyngsat.
Here you can click your appropriate area from around the globe. North America,South America,Asia,Europe,etc.
Then you can view available satellites and what is listed on those satellites. Please note that encrypted satellites will not usually list their channell details.
True FTA Satellites will have channels listed.
In time, satellites due change their channel lineups and change what channels are on different transponders. So, it is a good idea to review the satellite list on Lyngsat from time to time. One way to know when to review the satellite list is if you start losing a favorite channel or channels.
Here in North America, popular satellites include Galaxy 25 among others.

What are keys for
With most FTA receivers you can enter keys that can pull in additional channels or networks.
Keys work in the same way that bins do. For keys to work you will need to turn autoroll off. I prefer bins myself.
There are a number of keygrabbers online and even desktop ones that will retrieve the latest working keys.

What is Free to Air Satellite
What is Free to Air Satellite?
Free to Air Satellite or FTA is using a FTA receiver to catch television signals from satellites in orbit. Some popular models are PanSat,Sonic View,Captive Works,nFusion,and many others.
By hooking a receiver to a satellite dish, the receiver can then receive the signals necessary to display television.
Dishes come in a variety of sizes with the 18 inch dish being the smallest. To receive some satellites, a 30 inch dish is required such as when viewing the Galaxy 10R satellite.
So, to get started you will need a receiver, a dish(hopefully a 30 inch),and cable.
If you use more than one dish, you will also need a switch for Sat 1, Sat 2, etc.
The most common switches will allow up to 4 different satellites.
Then, you will set up the dish - make sure the mast is plumb. Next, go into your receiver menu and choose installation. Here you will pick what satellite you are aiming to setup and then tune the dish until you get a good signal.
If the satellite or its channels are true free to air, that is all you will need to do. Sit back and enjoy free televison
