DVB signals ku band




I am brand new to this hobby but I really want to get involved.

I have a ton of questions. It seems Ku band and a receiver that can handle DVB signals is the way to go. Do any of these receivers handle DVB plus analog. I thought I saw some that did DVB, NTSC, and PAL but that seemed to good to be true. I think the name of the reciever was the Satwork ST 3688.

Also, what is a blind search? Can I only point my dish at one satellite?
What if I want to review channels on different satellites? Will I have to
manually move my dish? How does that all work?

I live in Pittsburgh PA. I have seen a couple of websites that say I will
have access to lots of different satellites. Is that really true. If it is
it would seem I could get tons of channels from all kinds of places. Even
Europe and foreign stuff.

Also, will Ku, FTA stuff pick up wildfeeds and sports backhuals?

How much will all this cost I saw one place that was advertising a whole Ku
FTA system for about 179 US. Could that really be right? Is that decent?
It doesn't have to be the best. I just want to receive as many channels/feeds as possible and be able to see and hear them. I really just want to explore what's up there.

One other question. Is it possible to receiver Dish or DirectTV using the
same dish and receiver? Legally? I only want to do things that are legal.
I don't wish to steal any signals?

I know I asked a lot of questions but if anyone would be willing to
answer/correct/add anything I would really appreicate it.
