Those are my thoughts anyway.

Assuming by DSS, you mean
DTV, then I think that no FTA receiver can receive video on those signals. So even with a card, you can't subscribe. Re the dish network stuff, the Platinum receiver, you can at least lock the dishnet signals, but it is my understanding that there is no way that you can subscribe to these signals. It is possible if Dish would sell you a card, but they won't. At least that is my understanding.
Now the rain faid thing, that can only be helped by going to a bigger dish, not by using a different receiver. If you get one of the bigger dishes sold with the FTA systems, you might be able to cure your rain fade if you only have a one satellite system, however if you are trying to receive more than one of those dishnet sats, I don't think you can easily do it.
