Cool FTA Programming Memberships

I'm new to this FTA thing. Just some history, I've owned and still use my BUD system with a 4DTV receiver. 2 years ago purchased a Pansat 3500SD and piggy backed it off my 4DTV to check out all the birds. I found very little "Free TV" and put it away as it was more trouble than it was worth.
I have renewed my interest and purchased a Merc II receiver, 100 cm Fortec dish, Stabb 100 mover and a Viacom circular/linear LNBF.
I have a couple questions and they may seem stupid but I'm going to ask anyway.
  1. Can a FTA reciever pick up circular signals or is that only good for Dish Net, Direct and BEV?
  2. Are these FTA membership clubs I found on the internet an illeagal activity? (It reminds me 20 years ago everybody got their VCII boards chipped. That didn't go far, nor do I want to go there if thats how the FTA thing works.)
I'm just waiting on some parts from Sadoun to get this puppy up and running. So I have some time to spare.
The "Rainman" seems pretty knowledgable...I would really appreciate the advise. Thanks in advance.
