Fortec is a DVB FTA (free to air) receiver. Directv uses their proprietory version of mpeg2 and can only be received wit directv receivers and with a valid subscription. Dish network uses DVB, but it 99% of their channels are encrypted and in order to watch them you need a Dish networ receiver and subscription.

Directv dish and lnb is exactly the same as Dish network dish and lnb.

To receive any FTA programming on Ku band you need a minimum 30" dish and a universal or standard lnb.

If you bought your receiver with the intention of watching Directv and/or Dish network programming theny you bought a wrong receiver.
