Thanks so much for your answer,Jeff. The trouble I have is that this German Channel can only be gotten through the Dish Network, since our sweet Insight does not want to bother with that channel, since it does not bring them revenue, I suppose. I have spoken to I don't know how many local installers. They all promise me the moon when I talk to them. The dish network itself will install it, too, meaning they will use a local installer. They told me they use CompUSA, but that was once upon its time. They are of of the Dish realm totally. The people of Satellite Dish there on Preston Highway were so nice on the phone. I talked to a Terry Burnett for a couple of hours one afternoon and he was knowledeable, but when I finally tried to get them to answer my phone call to really install the thing, I did hear nothing, I made at least ten phone calls, no return call ever, I finally sent a letter telling them I would call the Better Business Bureau for not even having the courtesy to return a phone call. So they are out for me, and perhaps for any of you all, too. Right now I am negotiating with a person from Camelot Satellite. I also spoke with someone at HighPower Technical Services. I try to pin them down for what they all really know about anything. And when I press them, I get all these caveats. I already know too much for them, and I really know nothing. Go figure that one out. So any input from you all is very much appreciated. And I am not quite finished with Insight yet, either. Marta On Feb 18, 2005, at 14:25, Jeffrey C Smith wrote:
