If I connect this dish on top of my home will I be able to receive free channels on my tv without subscribing to a cable or satellite company?

With the addition of a FTA receiver aiming the dish at galaxy19 you will receive free unencrypted TV. So yes. But just remember none of the channels are garenteed. Can be gone at any time. But for the most part pretty stable programing. And yes no subscribing to cable or satellite. You can however subscribe to channels using a c-band dish that is motorized. Check skyvision.com and select Ku band then scroll down to galaxy 19 to see what programing you can receive. You can use dishpointer.com and a compass to aim the dish. I recommend joining sateliteguys.com for learning about FTA.

For that, you will have to buy a Satellite Television Receivers, and also I recomend you to read about FTA systems, you will need that

This antenna is required for KU band signal from all KU band satellite over North America. You can receive the free to air FTA channels that are in the clear. Check www.Lyngsat.com for a list of these channels.

Sorta, you will also have to Purchase a FTA receiver like this one: http://www.nc-electronics.com/store.html Also you will not get all the channels you are used to on Cable like Discovery, Travel, Cartoon Net, ESPN, etc. There is plenty to watch though, just not the big names. Sometimes those things go in the clear but not very often. Check out satelliteguys.us for help on FTA.

Most of the use for this dish is for religious international channels, or non commercial tv.

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.

Your best bet is to go online to the Dish website. It works just like regular cable. There are several packages you can choose from. You can get anything you can get at home.

No. You'll want to just connect via the USB cable (make sure you've activated the Dish driver with your computer.)

yes. BUT, you will only be able to watch what the SENDING tv is on.( one tv must be connected to the cable company 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.

No.... You must either initiate a contract with Dish or pay an additional $7 per month to add to your already established dish account

No! It will only pick up channels from a FTA satellite dish with a Ku or C BAND LNBF.

If you are in an area with over the air broadcast, then yes you will receive those local channels. You are not going to receive cable TV.

I use this with my DirecTV setup, so I assume you could do the same with Dish, although I can't speak authoritatively on this matter.

Not exactly sure of what you're asking. This device will stream the Dish Satellite channels that you already subscribe to to an internet-equipped device. You need a satellite subscription and high-speed internet in your home to be able to stream the channels to wherever you are remotely.

I doubt this will work, the Dish receiver usually won't let you do anything without active service. That being said, why not just use the tuner built in to your TV? another option would be to buy a stand alone sling box.

My sister has it hooked up with her cable and it works great. I have Dish network and cannot get it to operate with any of my sets. I can get it to operate the TV's but not control their box, which is of no use to me.

We got one for our motor home, but it should work the same way. Dish was excellent in walking us through the process once your satellite dish and receiver are hooked up.

Yes you can. Just remove the coax that goes to your TV's from the cable feed outside your house, mount the antenna in your desired location and run a coax cable from the antenna and connect (use a male/male connector) it to the cable that feeds your TV's. It's as easy as that and if your like me you will get a better picture than you got from your cable provider

No, you must use a cable card from your cable provider. With the cable card you will receive the digital channels you are subscribed to. I have been using the 4 channel receiver now for at least one year and it works great.
