Hi there,

Sorry, you cannot connect the Viewsat to the internet, since they do not have that service.

However, since you have a Motorized dish, you can tune into True FTA Satellites like 123W and 97W - just two of a bunch of Satellites available for Free TV.
All you need is the Factory file loaded on to the receiver.

But here are the other requirements.
You will need a Dish at least 30". But better would be 39" and a Linear LNB.
I would recommend an Invacom LNB which is both Circular and Linear.
That way when the N3 bins do arrive then you can tune into 119, 110, 129, 61,5, 91 82 etc all circular sats and still continue to watch the TRUE FTA Sats like 123 and 97 and other as well.

Dishpointer.com will help you to find the locations for those sats.

Good luck.
