satellite and hd

hi,

I am talking to andrew.com re: my 3020 which is really not working as well as i would have expected.
however, i now have access to a sbc satellite dish and was wondering what i would need to hook it up and evaluate the signal before signing a contract. my sony 34" xbr has the tuner, right?
thanks for any help.
peter
