In addition to my antenna-based Over-The-Air reception, I have been using FTA (Free-To-Air) satellite. My receiver has DVR capability, and while I can't receive all of the usual network programming, there's still lots of choice.
See the following for a listing of FTA channels:

And remember, FTA is 100% legal and free. It requires a one-time investment of around $200-300 for a dish, receiver / PVR, and dish positioner. And its a great hobby to get involved in!

Is this packaged up? Where can one find all the required equipment and information? Thanks.

Don't waste your time and money. If you really want to watch TV there is little of interest compared to normal subscription satellite. If you just want a hobby of playing with the sat dish to see what you can find, it is good.
If I setup my FTA again and told my wife that was all she had to watch, there would be trouble. :)
