Is this for receiving Dish Network?

110w and 61.5w is Dish Network, and required 1 dish each, so NO, you won't get those without a Dish receiver and paying for them.

If you only had two dishes, I'm not sure how you got 97w, but as for 97w, that's an FTA (TRUE free to air) sat, and there's a couple hundred channels up there that are truly free to receive once you get the equipment.

You will not get HBO, or standard cable channels, but you will get ethnic channels, and certain things such as that, just so you know.
