How to post a question on the N2News FTA Forums

by Sammy Satellite. – Staff Writer for n2news

When you are getting started with FTA there is no doubt you will have questions and there are a great many people, as well as our staff that are willing to help you get your questions answered.  Our FTA Forums provide the absolute best experience when it comes to support and troubleshooting for your FTA receiver.  If you follow this guide you will have better luck getting your questions answered. FTA is much more than hardware, it’s an online community of friends sharing experiences and helping each other.

1. Please show all other members some respect.   It is easy to say something in an online forum that you wouldn’t say face to face in a busy grocery store but that never helps anyone and it certainly never helps questions get answered.
2.  Do not post links to other websites, especially to keys.
3. Do not post company names.   The FTA community is all about Free-To-Air television so it’s best to keep information about specific satellite companies, channel names, hardware manufacturers, and other trademarked names out of the message.   Post general questions and you’ll still get answers.
4.  Be patient.   FTA is a hobby for most people and you may not get an immediate answer.
5.  Please search around first.   You’re not the first newbie (a loving term used to refer to new hobbyists in the world of FTA) having problems.   Over the last several years someone may have asked the same question so use the search feature and browse through past questions and answers.
6.  If another user sends you a file, be cautious unless you know that user or have been talking with them.  This is the same good judgment you would show in your normal email.  Download files with caution and at your own risk.
7.  If you are reading a thread (a group of messages on the same topic) don’t post an unrelated question.  This is called “Thread Hijacking” and it leads to confusion for the kind folks already reading and responding and it also makes it much more difficult to get you the right answer. 
8. Don’t post a short “Me Too” or “I’m Down” message.  If your FTA isn’t working due to an ECM, wait for the files.   I’ve posted articles in the past about ECMs and how the teams release new bin files.   Wait for the files to be released.   This site is the best available place to get new bin files as soon as they are available so just check back every few hours until the bin files area available.
