Hello WELCOME to the satelliteGuys.US FTA forum!
I would have a look below, and always check the satellite FOOTPRINT or BEAM. That will tell you if its possible to pick up. But of course they have to be broadcasting also in your direction, if you see some channels that you are interested in you can always ask here first! Watch out C-Band (BIG 6' Dish) uses a four digit Freq. where KU-Band uses a five digit Freq. (30"+ dish)

kele...Ya the hotbirds are blocked by the earth, no matter how big you dish is, unless of course you plan on moving to the UK or europe sometime soon. As PSB noted, lyngsat has good listing of FTA stuff and beam maps, so you can figure out what to get. The "freetv" listings for north america should show basically most of the chans avail.
