Echostar 8 - Gol TV

[architech]

Hey guys,
I am new to the satellite community. I have an existing dish aimed at Hispasat and receive european stations, and am looking to get GolTV as well. After a little research it seems that GolTV is availble as FTA on Echostar 8 (per Lyngsat). As i dont know much about this, what would you suggest i need as far as a dish? Would any dish/lnb work? I assume i would leave my existing and supplement with a new one aimed in the Echostar direction. Any / all help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks, tech. I guess the info i saw on lyngsat was old (EchoStar 8 at 110.0°W - LyngSat)
