It costs a ton of bucks to stick a satellite into geo-stationary orbit, so you can watch TV bouncing off of it. I doubt there is any cheap ways to get it anymore.
Back in the days when one big dish scanned the sky and fed off many satellites with partial TV on each, there were cheap ways to view. Back then they came in vertical and horizontal signals -so if you flipped your amp over, you got twice the dhannels. I built my own dish with wood 2"X6"s and chicken wire. It was 14 feet diamter. I scanned 14 different satellites. No more.

I got rid of my TV dish and put up an over-the-air antenna system. Due to the huge improvement when all got changed to digital signals, I now get over 30 channels - most in HD - with just antennas. Back before the digital change, I could only get one channel and it was pretty snowy. I'm getting TV from transmitters 60-80 miles away, and many mountain tops inbetween. I did the same in a flatter area of Michigan and get TV from 120 miles away.
