I have recently come by a dish LNBF and the receiver. It is a model DP 301. It was given to me. The question is: Can I use any of this for FTA DVB? I currently have a BUD and it works great on both C and Ku bands. I have no interest in trying to hack Dish TV but no small dish experience. I was wondering if it could be used in any way.
 
nope

you can hook up a pizza dish and get a few channels. Any previously authorized receiver can get the following
Dish 101
NASA
Angel One

but everything else would need a subscription
 
OK, Thanks. I think I'll start digging into the subject of the FTA stuff I still don't get. May give the Dish equipment back or to someone else.
 
you can get 119 the music channels arent encrpted near 40 music channels you can get for free useing the small pizza dish.

That will only work with a FTA receiver though. The Dish receiver is useless for FTA, unfortunately. There are so many of them around...

Also, depending on what type of Dish LNBF you have on the 20" dish, it might not work well with a FTA receiver. The best LNBF assembly to use to get the In The Clear channels on a 20" dish is the old LNBFs that are two separate LNBFs, not the newer "twins" in one single housing. The Legacy twins won't work on FTA receivers at all, and the DP's have stacked transponder frequencies which requires you to edit your entire TP list.
