You should have a decent shot at Echostar1 depending on your surroundings, but I am not sure what you are aiming to pick up.
Dish rule is always get the biggest you can afford, at least 36" minimum IMHO.
Echostar1: http://www.lyngsat.com/echo1.html
Echostar2: http://www.lyngsat.com/echo2.html
Tracker Map: http://www.lyngsat.com/tracker/echo1.html both are located at 148.0°W

I hear that sometimes there are some free feeds on there that are pretty darn interesting... if ya know what I mean
Sounds like I need to start looking for another channel master 1m... I wish I could find some masts for this thing.. Right now I have it on a 2 3/8" pipe in the ground with about 80 lbs of creat holding it... I would like to, later on this spring, find some wall mount masts that I can bolt to a pallet with some sand bags on it to hold it in place-I rent, heh

you can get it in Illinois. Here in MN the elevation is 15 but its doable
Nothing there free except for a couple duplicates of DIsh 101

After listening to what some other people said I was looking at this http://www.lyngsat.com/echo1.html and seeing Starz, HBO, and Encore West as fta...
MPEG-4 8PSK is the "encryption"
We can't get MPEG 4 stuff even if it was straight DVB...boxes are only MPEG-2

No, what do you mean?
Those Echostar listings are MPEG4 and HD.
Yea, speaking of the Iceberg, question... What are the specs for a 6 foot FTA bud... I remember a post about a year ago about the holes in the mesh being to small or to large or something. Pretty much, next year or so I am moiving up north a bit to go to more school and uhh, I am gonna have to come down to just ONE dish... AHHHHHHHHHHH... But anyways, I was thinking about throwing a 6 foot bud c/ku out there. At any rate... I was going to go ahead and buy the thing with in the next few months so that I can get it all figured out, plus I have the money now and may not have it later.... Anyways... So what should I buy?

I'm working with a solid 6 footer but is its mesh dish then you have to use the pencil trick. If you can fit a pencil through the holes then it won't work well with KU band
If you can find a good used one that would work. Otherwise Sadoun has the 6 footers

With the right hardware you can
While the channels are not correct on lyngsat anymore, that TP is not encrypted.
