Rlyyoung-
You can start here...
Free To Air Satellite TV system These are high quality stationary satellite packages.  Use this satellite system to receive Free To Air channels from one satellite.  Excellent choice for all the ethnic channels on Galaxy 25 (aka Telstar 5), and other
You need a Dish, Receiver, and LNB.

For more / better answers, you should start your own thread / topic, or use the forums "search" option.

You might start by looking at
FTAList.com - The easy list of North American free-to-air TV channels
see what FTA programing you would like to see. You will probably not be able to use much of your current equipment - maybe the coax cables. FTA off of one satellite to four rooms is easy. FTA off of many satellites for multiple receivers is a challenge.
Good Luck!
