I did not see that the TS or OP as it were said one word about signal theft. I take it to mean --- What does it take to get FTA? He may not even fathom why the blasting comments. Hey, location is TX.
To answer the question, partly --- read the forum, look for the FAQ section. Look at "the List" button at the top of the page, then ask a more direct question. Yes, you will need to get a bigger dish to get anything FTA.
edit: It is so hot in most of Texas that to form a question is --**-- out of the question. That was not a slam, I was thinking of the WX and heat.
