Welcome to SatelliteGuys!

What do you mean by a receiver that still works?
Lots of stuff up there. Have you had anything in the past? If so what?
Antenna depends on what you have room for and what you are looking to receive.

Yea I had a Coolsat 7000 and a 5000 but they stop making the updates for them and I ended throwing them away and for an antena I had a Dish 500

Ok, let me go ahead and say that hacking of Dish Network is illegal as you know and we do not condone that here on this site.
If you are interested in TRUE FTA, we will be more than willing to help.
Hacking methods or Hack talk is not allowed on this site.

Oh ok no problem I really didn't know that it was Illegal I went on eBay and bought dose receivers cause they said Free to Air and the guy that I bought them from told me what I needed to get them working but what I'm trying to do is to get something that works and that it's not illegal

for an insight on what's available FTA, 24/7, on a small dish I'd recommend http://www.global-cm.net/ENGLISH TV - KU BAND.pdf or complete list http://www.global-cm.net/MPEGlistKuBandUS.pdf AMC 21 at 125W and Galaxy 19 at 97W are well worth it alone IMHO.
(all published list do contain errors, some services 'go away' other 'show up' without notice)
