What channels you are looking to receive?
No, you can't get any of those type channels that you mentioned. If thats what you want then get a subscription of dish or direct tv. All of those programs are either on fiber or encrypted off satellite and we don't discuss any "hacking" or work arounds to receive encrypted channels. If you wan't an idea of what is available "Free to Air" see this website. www.lyngsat.com
