you need a dish network account and an activated dish network box/receiver.

The only thing I am aware of that you can get for this is another remote but not from Dish. You have to search to find a compatible remote if the one that comes with unit fails. The unit works as advertised.

No. This dish is only compatible with dish network. I know there are others compatible with direct tv but I can only answer for this one.

What are you picking up with your old TV? All the channels have converted to digital. You need a digital convert box. If you look on Amazon you'll see the Home Worx 150-PVR (just a suggestion). In combination you'll be able to receive many of the Free to Air tv stations - and there are many. Ditch cable ;-)

add a wineguard antenna, it grabs the live free HD signals over the air. NBC, FOX, CBS, ABC, but no ESPN. $29 for the light one, as I am close to the towers. Also, check your TV, it needs a COAX input.

connect to actual cable that is either dish/comcast service to see if tv works. if it does get boost assist signal amplifier dont go cheap, get the best you can.

This is part of the DISH Network home TV system. You need a dish, and a hopper actually.

You will have a large selection of channels, from Arabic to Turkish & between some Asian, also a French channels, sincerely, you will be happy if you buy it, because it's much better then Dish or others. So just spend some money (no more bills) and it's will be yours.

I think I need a sony TV. I decided to connect the dish directly and use the receiver only for movies and games.Sometimes you want to watch some programs on mute anyways...Thank you for your input

I purchased an indoor antenna for $30 and use that since I did not have access to Comcast. I get about 6 to 12 channels on what is called Free TV. I am sure you could use a rooftop antenna but you have to have the correct cord and connection to the TV. It does not come with the TV.

I have mine set to Directv so no HD and not available for direct just Dish hd.

Yes, I still pay the DVR service fee, the only reason I bought from amazon was that this place I live already had a dish service dish and it's really rural and was going to take 3 weeks for them to come out and set up the equipment. I took a chance that the dish was pointed in the right direction and bought the receiver and Joey so I could get set up as soon as amazon got me the equipment. Luckily the dish it self was in fact already dialed in. Hope this helps.

Absolutely yes ....this is a really good product ....in fact if you want to really save some cash, cut your dish down to internet only, and then buy a Roku HD stick ..... I now spend less than $40 a month....

You can get a digital attena to get free air channels ( without the digital Attena, TV won't be able to get all free channels in your area doing to signal interference) or get a cable/satelite box to get pay channels

The problem probably isn't with the T V. I would ask for a replacement for the HD cable box. If you have cable, they will most likely charge you for the switch, Dish does not. I like the T V, but the sound quality sucks. I could add a inexpensive sound bar, but I only use it for awhile, at night, as a bedroom set. Good luck.

Not sure...we have cable and it is fine with that, but don't know about Dish...sorry.

You only need a HD antenna to pick up any free HD channels in your viewing area but this won't get paid channels for free only HD channels of local digital over the air content Hope this helped I used to be confused about what free HD meant too
