Most of the "cable" channels are going to be pay-only.
However you want to watch main chanel PBS and NASA TV those are free to watch... paid by your tax dollars.

I'm an FTA hobbyist. It kind of takes me back to the days of Shortwave radio.
Unencripted backhauls are always fun....

When I worked for a TV station and an ancelatory (consumer for odd in house feeds) dish it was fun to watch ABC NEWS live and the actual remote raw feed from wherever they were... once had Peter Jenning flipping the bird to a noisey helecopter when he was remote in DC about 10 sec or less before he was live nation wide, also saw him royaly chew outa PA in the same time frame, just before on the national net...unfortunately 26" of water in the house during hurricane Wilma destroyed all that.

But bet a lot of even that stuff is encripted now that it is all pretty much aqll digital even C band.

That was a wonderful era.... 80-90's

Yes there is still FTA... but not near what it once was.... and likely only ever more restricted to come.
