Really new
HI guys great to find this forum for my questions
I am looking at buying a reciever to get free to air but I don't know much about it. I used to have the Direct TV set up years ago and I currently have a dish on my roof pointing at the Bell expressview sat. I really don't want to get a new dish if I can get away with it. I was told that I can just move the dish to point at the dish network sat and reprogram the reciever and I will get around 400 channels. including HBO and all the big US stations. Is this correct or do I need a new dish and new LNB's? AM I in over my head on this? Also what reciever do you think would be the best for a newbie
Thanks guys I really need the help
