Echostar patents putting a weather station on subscriber roofs

Actually putting a weather station on your roof is a bad location. While many people do its not the best place except for the anenometer which needs to be 33 feet for the best readings. The temp and rain sensors needs to be max 5 feet off the ground. So ill pass on dish since i have my own weather station.
 
I don't think it will use hardly any bandwidth at all. Very minimal. They could feed the info to their own app to show up on the weather channel, dish home, or submit the info to the network stations, weather channel, national weather service, etc.
 
NHey, what ever happened to that town that named itself "Dish Network " to get free programming? Did they all pull a Jonestown?
 
Sounds out of this world!!
I grew up near Mars, and now live near Neptune Beach. So what does that make me? Alien.

You wouldn't believe the size of dish I need to pick up the eastern arc out here near Neptune. :eek:

The plus side is that I only experience solar interference once a year when the Earth passes behind the Sun.
