Gary,
The Prime Star dishes can be used to pick up the Ku band satellites.
You will need a standard C band receiver. There are several types of 
Prime Star dishes and they differ in how they are powered and change polarity.
I suggest you check out the TVRO group on yahoo groups. There are guys 
there that have done this and can help you. I have a Prime Star dish 
laying in my yard but I have not hooked it up since I have two other dishes 
with C/Ku feeds on them.
