Free To Air TV Channels
The content of what you see on television is normally financed by the government, advertising, licensing (in the UK, this is the TV license) or subscription such as BT vision, Sky or Cable. To ensure that only the individuals that have paid receive the channels TV channels are usually encrypted and they receive a decryption code to see that signal. Those channels which are free are not encrypted and known as Free to air. The use of Televisions to advertise to the public is a great way of creating publicity and for producers to fund their programming, and networks and stations sell blocks of broadcast time for advertisements.
