For free to air reception you will need a minimum of 30"+ dish. Your 18" dishes will not work as there is nothing FTA on directv of DN that is worh your efforts.

...there is nothing FTA on directv or DN that is worth your efforts.

Like Sadoun says... there is nothing FREE on these satellites or the Canadian service (Bell ExpressVu) either. So forget your hopes of getting sports, HBO, movies and porn.
