    We all know this could easly happen if a satellite installer was careless, but it goes to show that installers need to be more careful when doing a job on a customers property.. http://www.turnto10.com/consumerunit/4043712/detail.html

    Now this is one SUPER DISH! :-)

    No roof mount that's for sure :-) But look at it this way, you could get every channel you wanted, and have Voom, Dish and Direct on all one dish :-) and rain fade would be less likely than normal :-)

    Now this is one Super Dish! http://www.atci.net/index.asp?cp=antenna&pid=362 Wonder if E* will ever make us put one of these in our yards :-) With this they could do LIL in SD and HD for the entire US and give us every thing else in the sky! Can we say "True" Dish 500? :-)

    In case you are wondering what happened to HITN ....

    What all was on I7? I know E* used to use it for locals in PA, Glad they dont anymore :-) I take that means less space on 121? now for LIL with E as it appears that a lot of the stuff on 129 moved to 121.

    What is the wattage cutoff to be qualified as full power station

    Another possiblity is the station might not want to spend the money to get their signal to the POP, If this is the case, Must carry does them no good, Must carry means D* or E* has to carry the channel if their elegible but that also means the station MUST get the E* or D* POP a "proper" signal...

    SkySizzles: Sky Angel Debuts Spirit

    This would be the new Video Channel they developed with Spirit Communcations (the Founders/Owners of TVU Music Television and Radio U Network) both carried on skyangel... I believe this was SkyAngel's responce to dropping Praise TV they wanted to fill a void.. This would be it.
