Have you ever had one of those days when your boss yelled at you for no reason at all, your mother in law called up and your kid brother got busted for overdoing the speed limit? At the end of the day all you want to do is put your feet and rest your head awhile before you turn on the TV in the express hope that you might not have to mull over your own problems if you could just escape into the comforting realms of the TV world.

So with all those great intentions in mind you turn on the TV and you finally find out that your fabulous day isn’t over yet. All you had to do is switch on the TV and you find that instead of a good movie your TV screen is spewing out static and noise, a result of the storm that was brewing in the night.

It’s at times like this that you begin to seriously contemplate suicide. Have no fear, free to air is here. What exactly is free to air and how do you intend to get it? Well free to air is basically a technology that allows you to access the world’s leading TV channels for free without having to pay for anything except the receiver set and the free to air paraphernalia that is a one time investment that usually does not exceed 50 dollars.

Satellite television made its debut in the 1960’s in some places of the world, but it was not until the early 1990’s that it became available in a lot of areas of the united States for individual homes.

There was really not nearly as much to choose from then as there is today. The first home satellites were huge and could take up a good deal of space in your yard. They really were not very pretty to look at either.

Satellite television has come along way in the past 15 years or so. The number of companies that sell satellite services has grown and people can choose which company that they think offers the best service. Most of them offer much the same things. Different numbers of channels are available at different costs.

Satellite television service has come a long way since it was first introduced to the entertainment industry so many years ago.  While it used to be a hassle to have it installed, expensive once it was, and inconvenient both to use and get rid of, none of these things are true in this day and age. 

These days, satellite service for the televisions in your home is inexpensive to have installed (installation is often free), inexpensive to have ongoing service, and has a gentle learning curve for those of us who are used to having cable. 

Remember those huge satellite dishes that had to be installed in the backyard?  Gone are those days and now, the satellite can be about twice the size of a dinner plate (if that large) and can be mounted discreetly on the side of the house or on the roof. 

The only thing that you might have to worry about with satellite service is it going out during precipitation or very cloudy days, but even cable service goes out during storms from time to time.

I was speaking to a friend of mine the other day about the ending of analogue TV broadcasting. Over the next couple of years each region in the UK will start to switch off its analogue transmissions permanently. Televisions bought in recent years will have no problem, as they have a digital tuner built in. Otherwise an additional digibox will be needed to be bought.

My friend was particularly bothered because one of his older TVs seemed like it was going to be totally obsolete. He had had it for over 20 years and because it didn’t have the right type of connector (a SCART socket) it wasn’t compatible with the digiboxes in his local electronics store. He said it was illegal that you can buy a TV set and then be forced to buy a new one because large companies want to squeeze even more money from consumers.
