I would try a linkbox 9000 local has an ota tuner and a satellite tuner in the same box they sell them over at hypermegasat.com. What is your dish setup and what satellites are you wanting to get?

Take a look at a Freesat V7. With a 30 inch dish it will do better at locking signals than most other receivers and costs about $150 less than the Linkbox 9000.
Welcome to Satellite Guys Robb54! We generally recommend starting with a 90cm (36") dish but you can still get some channels with a 30" too. There are a lot of foreign channels on 97w (Galaxy 19) but some decent English ones as well. Also 95W has a news channel and documentary channel. There are some other ones scattered across the arc. Use Lyngsat.com or Sathint.com to find them. Agree with jeepguy about FreeSat V7. It's a very low cost ($30ish) Chinese receiver that has performed pretty well. Give that a shot and then maybe upgrade to a motorized 90cm or 100cm and another receiver later. We are here to help so feel free to ask any questions. Good luck!

Dish size is an important factor (bigger dish is better). If you are willing to spend $250 to $300 I would suggest investing the money in a larger dish like this one http://www.ebay.com/itm/36-Inch-90-cm-Free-To-Air-FTA-Satellite-Dish-HD-LNBF-/122007810338. As far as a receiver the one mentioned earlier is a good starter and word is that in about 6 months or so some new receivers will be coming to market with better features so you may want to wait and invest in one of those.
