No, it won’t work at all.
Your dish will only pick up the DirecTV signal, not over the air channels. In order to do that you will need to get a standard antenna, either to mount on top of your TV or on your rooftop.
ETA: Even if you’re looking for satellite signals that are free, your dish won’t work because of the Low Noise Blockers (LNBs) that your dish has. They block out all noise that isn’t from a DirecTV satellite.
