Overcoming Obstacles to Access NTDTV Again

In October 2007, I installed a 70-cm satellite dish at home with the help of fellow practitioners. We were able to watch New Tang Dynasty Television (NTDTV) broadcast through the W5 satellite.

Even though my mother does not practice Falun Gong, after she watched NTDTV programs, especially the 2008 Chinese New Year Spectacular, she was able to clearly identify and break free from the Communist Party's propaganda. Now when she watches Chinese Central Television, she no longer blindly accepts it as she did before. Moreover, she is able to tell other people the truth about Falun Gong. This demonstrates the importance of NTDTV for Chinese people in terms of helping them to recognize the evil nature of the Communist Party.

Ever since the Chinese government pressured Eutelsat to shut down NTDTV's signal on the W5 satellite, we have been waiting and hoping that overseas practitioners could help us restore the signal as soon as possible. Through studying the Fa, I realized that I was waiting, counting on others and had an attachment to comfort. I did not meet Teacher's requirement for Fa-rectification period disciples. Teacher has said that we, the Dafa practitioners, are the people's only hope for salvation. Thus, we should be proactive and start with ourselves. We must not wait for, and not depend on others. Instead we should actively seek ways to break through the old forces' interference. I enlightened that NTDTV is a Fa implement and that we should start with ourselves and fully take advantage of it. If NTDTV programs were shown everywhere, then nobody would believe the lies and propaganda of the Communist Party.

Recently, I saw some articles on the Minghui/Clearwisdom website talking about how to receive New Tang Dynasty Asia Pacific Television programs through Central satellite No. 1. The articles are very comprehensive. They explain what equipment is required and how to set it up and program it. After I downloaded the related articles, I was very moved. Teacher has prepared everything for us, and we just need to take action. How could we avoid this responsibility? I decided that I must take action. I sent forth righteous thoughts first and thought, "I am doing the most righteous thing and no inference is allowed."
In fact, it wasn't nearly as hard as I thought it would be when I started doing it. I went to the electronic store and asked around. There are service people that specialize in installing satellite dishes. They will install anything you want. So, I went to shop for equipment. A fellow practitioner told me that I should get high frequency C-type connectors that everyone uses so that I won't attract attention. The dish required is bigger than the one used for W5. It needs to be 120 cm. It is a little hard to hide it once installed, and we need to consider that because we are still limited by the current environment. After some thinking, I bought the dish. However, when I was walking home with the big dish, my human thoughts came up. What if someone sees it? Then I had another thought; many ordinary people install satellite dishes too and some are bigger than this one. Didn't everything in this world come for the Fa? Besides, I am doing the most righteous thing, no one can interfere with it. And so, without any problems, I took the dish home.
When the service man came to install the dish, I asked him to adjust it according to the numbers I got from the articles. After he found the satellite, he realized that it was NTDTV. He told us that many people have asked him to find this satellite, but he didn't know the coordinates and he couldn't find it. So, I took the opportunity to clarify the truth to him. He wrote down the required coordinates. He said that there are many people installing satellites nowadays. Nobody can tell which stations you are watching from the outside, especially in a wealthy residential area. Teacher has said that the environment is set by us. I believe it even more now. People need to pay a lot of money every year to watch digital television, and watching satellite TV is relatively cheaper. This also helps us to promote NTDTV.

I think that NTDTV is a platform for people in China to understand the truth. If we don't promote it, who will? Our practitioners in China do not cherish NTDTV enough. That's why the old forces have been able to interfere. Therefore, I hope all practitioners will promote and watch our NTDTV when conditions allow. I believe it will help us in clarifying the truth and saving sentient beings.

I also want to take this opportunity to thank the Minghui/Clearwisdom editors and the practitioners who shared their experiences and provided such valuable information. I plan to write down the installation process and share it with other practitioners so they can try it. In fact, as long as we have the desire, Teacher will help us. It is also a process of cultivation and believing in Teacher and the Fa. Of course, one must do it rationally and wisely according to one's situation.
