Where are you finding these
FTA? I checked LyngSat (which, I know, is often wrong . . . ) and it appears that:
EchoStar 3 (Ku-band) is entirely Dish Network – which is most certainly NOT FTA.
EchoStar 9 (C- and Ku-band) shows JCTV FTA on
C-band (4100 V) but all the Ku-band listings are also for Dish Network.
I understand that KBS America is now a standard (non-premium) channel on Dish Network, but of course you have to subscribe to Dish to receive it.
Also noted that ImaginAsian TV (previously FTA on G10R, Ku-band) is now on EchoStar 9 (C-band, 3777 H). And, apparently, it is no longer FTA. :mozilla_cry:
