You just don't buy any dish, you have think what you want to watch/receive, then pick the right size dish, and then you have to pick a receiver. Not me, but many users have more than two boxes for many reasons.
Once you have these, then you have to choose if you gonna have a motorized dish or stable with more than 1 LNB's. Motorized dish is good because you only need 2-3 cables, but there is a delay when you switch satellite, seconds or minute until it turns to the right position. While stable has more job and cables to have, while switching satellites/channel is instant. wave frontier is considered the best dish, as it can see/get lots of sats with its size the way it is(needs a lot of lnbs and cable!).
Some people switch receivers every time a new one is out(not many the last years).
FTA is good, but people still trying to crack scrambled channels.
