Does Dish Network/Direct TV have any fta channels on them? I couldnt find any thing on here about it.
I am talking about free channels. NOT hacked/Card sharing. I am using a Viewsat Ultra Lite

probably not. they want money, not to deliver free service to you.
from ftalist.com/ftafaq.html : Can I use a Dish Network or DirecTV dish and LNBF to pick up FTA channels?
Yes, but not many. There are only a few Dish Network and Bell ExpressVu TV channels, mostly system promos, that a FTA receiver can pick up with Dish/DirecTV equipment. There are a fair number of audio channels in the clear. In general, a Dish/DirecTV setup and a switch can be a cheap way to add this small set of channels, but by itself, it wont give you much reason to buy a FTA receiver.
