lumpkin666 is on a distinguished road
The "receive all" part of your request is the tough part. Some will tell you that a well tuned 6 foot dish will do this, but most experienced people will tell you that a 6 foot dish will have problems on some (many) sats due to conflicting signals/rejection. My opinion would be a minimum of 7.5ft finely tuned dish - however even there you may run into problems. Of course, to get EVERY available FTA signal, you'd probably need a monstrous dish.. but you're a reasonable person with reasonable expectations (I assume).

Remember too, the larger the dish, more difficult it becomes to become finely tuned enough to pickup those KU signals. I'd rather go with a larger BUD and a reasonable sized ku-dish to get the best reception if I had a choice.
