If the 905 has been previously authorized, you will probably be able to get any unencrypted channel or any fixed key channel. There are some on X4 (G4) ku. The problem will be getting channel maps and the programming guide. If the channels aren't already mapped, you can't watch them. If there are some already mapped, chances are you won't have all of them, unless the 905 has been used recently. There have been a ton of changes made with-in the last 6 months. To get maps or get them updated, you will need to go to G1 (G15) channel 3 C-band to do this. As far as I know, it can't be done on ku-band yet. Although a large number of movie channels were recently put on X4, I haven't seen a provider that's providing them yet. Maybe if that happens we will be able to start doing this on ku-band, it would certainly ease a lot of headache's. If you know someone with a C-band dish, you could always take it over and borrow it to update the maps. It won't do for the program guide, because when you lose power (to take it back home) it kills the guide.
