What do you think it would take for a new c band receiver to be developed? One that does HD and DVR, and lets us subscribe to pay channels like a 4DTV.
C Band itself is great, while a pizza dish goes out in heavy rain, c-band is not prone to rain fade and I have used a c-band dish during 40mph wind gusts in a super-soaker rain fall.
The 4DTV was a good idea, and had a great purpose, but I think more could be done with c-band if there was a large push to develop a HD DVR c-band receiver.
I know the amount of 4DTV subs is falling. Its not because of the dish itself, its the receiver. Alot of people don't want to stay stuck in the stone age with a SD only receiver that has no way of internal recording.
