We've launched a new News Service for the backyard dish FTA community, Rainier Satellite now will update you to changes and moves for FTA channel information we provide in our EPG. This is part of our FTA friendly policy.

NBC Channels Scrambling :

On December 1, 2020 NBC will begin migrating to a new transponder on the 105 West satellite. These feeds will be encrypted. Once this transition is complete, NBC will no longer be available to the backyard dish user.

Rainier Satellite has no control over this but offers 2 solutions for you .

1) Subscribe to our Toronto 4+ package. Many network shows can be found on these channels, including shows lost from CBS, ABC, and PBS going away in the past.

2) Purchace one of Rainiers Long Range Antenna's to receive your local OTA affiliate if avaiiable.

Due to the nature of Freeview (FTA) content Rainier Satellite provides no guarantee for the availability, reception, or longevity of the service. We also do not provide technical support for these channels. Rainier Satellite only supports our paid subscription channels.

Rainier is in contract talks with many FTA networks. Were working to be able to continue access to them once scrambled. Once a network is added to our packages we will provide support for those.
