Answer 1

No.



You need an antenna. A satellite dish won't capture the TV signals properly.

Answer 2

You need a proper antenna for broadcast stations, not a satellite antenna. However, it might be a bit better than whatever you're using now, simply because it's metal and is higher in the air. It won't hurt to try it.

Answer 3

No.



The "dish" is not equipped for OTA frequencies.

Answer 4

no ... you need a multi-band antenna ...installed in ln of sight of the tower ..
