If you're hoping to replace Dish Network with FTA, you should check "The List!" at the top of this forum to get an idea what channels are available. You'll need a 30" or larger dish, a 36" is recommended. Your Dish Network dish can only get you NASA TV, Angel One and a few "barker" channels. There is nothing else up there on Dish Network available without a subscription.

This page gives you some simple getting started information.

If you're just hoping to save some money you could try calling Dish and telling them you plan on switching to FTA, they might give you a discount to keep you as a customer.
