It will not work with a standard antena. Must have a dish. Amazon sells a digital converter (HomeWorks), that works pretty well with local digital signals.

you have to have a FTA dish to fact south. Antenna will not work with the box.

It will not work with a digital antenna. Although some may compare a digital antenna to FTA (free to air). There is differences. Free to air satellite comes from satellites and. Digital free to air comes from transmitter antennas on the ground. Hope this helps. Long story you need a dish for satellite.

All I can say is that I attached the cable to the receiver and had dish activate it. and all is working just fine. hope that helps some. Good luck to you.

I agree. The Hopper and the OTA will only work with activated Dish service. As suggested why not purchase a TiVo to record programs with an antenna for reception of the local signals.

YES!! This dish will work fine with Dish Network. I use it with the Dish VIP211Z receiver with no issues.

I don't have dish, so I am not sure if it will work. I do have a universal remote that has been programmed to work on 4 functions through my amp. I use it to watch, blueray, cable, Apple TV or listen to radio or iPod. That would be your best choice for configuring both TV and dish.

I don't think so. According to the description, the receiver says it is compatible with current Dish subscription.

Yes you need a satellite dish adjusted to the correct direction, and a few other steps. Like before please refer to fta forums...

You need a 30" satellite Antenna for FTA and it will get HD channels. This is currently unavailable and we do not have an ETA for new inventory.

It works with Dish network or Direct tv. I use Dish Network, and when I move about in the motor home, I call Dish and tell them my new location so that I can get the local channels. There is no charge for this service.

Any dish receiver will work as long as it does not require a broadband connection.If you cant get the receiver GM5000 to work. you maybe forgetting a step like I did. Start from scratch and follow the manual. What I don't like is having to spend an hour on the phone every time we move.

Your antenna will allow it to receive the terrestrial FTA channels but not the satellite FTA channels, which is the primary purpose of a Linkbox (Local) 8000HD receiver. You will need to find a 7.5' or larger dish which someone wants to get rid of for C-band channels or possibly a smaller one for Ku-band channels. All the PBS feeds are Ku band on a satellite at about 125 degrees west.

I'm pleased to inform you that this device worked well with my Dish 722K receiver. I have no regret whatsoever that I chose to purchase and use it. I have switched to another satellite provider since and find it apparently still works.

I regret that I am not familiar with "dish receiver" technology. You may go to the Pyle website to ask this question.

I think if this sat receiver dish is attached to your existing satellite receiver box you would still be able to pick up signals. It is the box with its card that de-scramble's the signal not the dish. When I used D-TV I used to take mine on the road with me. Dont think the companies care as long as you pay your bill. you might consider talking with DISH and ask about the pay as you go works well for occasional use.

Yes, it works on both direct & Dish. Direct tv is not high def, Dish tv is high def compatible. I was able to use it all the way around the US. I just got back to Oregon. It will pick up the eastern satellites up in Newhampsure also.

Answer: YES. the dish itself works with everything EXCEPT the new DIRECT TV Genie system. On the Genie, the transponder must be changed out. But DIRECT TV installation man can swap that part out.
