    Dish 500 Help?

I am...

    Well I purchased the GloryStar set up (36" dish, fortec mercury II,etc) I didn't dive into the motor system yet, because I was looking at my townhome and a big ass tree is about 50 degree's of my viewing span :) Hopefully I can pick up the two AMC4 and T5. I think I should be able to as long as...

Yah I figured the Dish wouldn't work for FTA but thought I would ask :) Had to pay for the system $149 so I guess I gotta forget about it now if im not gonna utilize it for DISH programming any longer.
