osu1991 is right, a Directv dish is much too small for fta reception. I suggest you check out the fta section here. There is a lot of good info.

Hi and welcome! 18" really is too small to get reliable FTA signals. It would only be good for experimentation by someone who has a lot of experience in FTA reception. If you are just starting out here is a system that is recommended for most beginners. It includes everything you should need to get started:


If you like the hobby you can add this motor to access your entire viewable satellite arc and get more channels.


GOOD LUCK!
