Well, you can get a small 90cm Ku-band dish with a motor, but the best is to get a 10'-12' c/ku dish with motor.
You can see whats up there here:

I highly recommend a fullview system, but if you do not have room for it, you can use a Ku-band only setup, you will still get many free feeds, but with a BUD c/ku 4dtv/dvb you will have it all.
