You buy the Aurora card but you don't have to pay to get it enabled. As I said you can get some commercial channels enabled (not actually 7,9,10) but you have to prove that you cannot get acceptable reception of any commercial channels via your terrestrial system. eg: If raising your antenna 2m and installing an amplifier would produce reasonable pictures you would not qualify - that is why an antenna tech is required for the field test report.
Provided you enter the correct parameters (from the Lyngsat site) into the receiver, all the channels listed will be loaded into it - if any are FTA (or "in the clear") then you will see them.
A motorised system does exactly that. Note that setting up a motorised dish system to track correctly without a decent meter is very difficult, and more so on Ku-Band where the received beam is very small - best to leave the actual alignment to the experts.
