1. Can you buy a dish net subscription on the Fortec receiver?
NO. You will need to buy a Dish Network system and subscribe. Fortec receivers are for free to air channels.

2. Can you buy any subscription on the Fortec receiver?
No. It is only intended for free to air satellite tv.

3. Can I make my dish net receiver pick up FTA channels as well as the sub channels?
No. FTA channels use different satellites, transponder frequencies, symbol rates, and different LNBFs. The satellite dish required is usually bigger in diameter to receive more signal from FTA satellites.

4. Basically, I want my sub channels, but I want to get the FTA channels as well -what is my best solution without going to a big (c band) dish?
Get two separate systems. One Dish Network system for sub (pay) channels and another for the FTA channels.
