I am new at this so please excuse if I make errors in etiquette.
I have Super dish and subscribe to US 60, ZTV, SET and local. IE sat 110,119,64.5, I think.
I would like to purchase a FTA receiver to add free channels without installing new dish or add wiring except may be a splitter- switch at outlet inside home. ( Don't want to climb up the roof).
Any suggestions for FTA receivers and other accessories?
Thanks.

You're pretty much out of luck trying to get this to work like you'd want. You're probably looking at another FTA receiver with a 1m or 76cm dish (or dishes if you want to fix them on one satellite - or motorize one dish to get multiple birds) and wiring into your house - this totally depends on what you're looking to get FTA. Take a look at Christian Lyngemark's site (http://www.lyngsat.com) for various channels on different satellites and http://www.mpeg2fta.com for some equipment suggestions. I've got a Satwork 3688 reciever mounted with a motorized Wineguard 76cm dish and pick up about 80 english language channels on full time. If I knew Korean or Arabic, I'd pick up about another 150 more... Lyngsat.com tries to code the language that the channel broadcasts (K - Korean, A - Arabic, E - English, S - Spanish, F - Farsi, etc.) which is a nice help
