Not the modern mini-dish stuff; I'm talking about the giant C-band dishes. They're used by TV networks to distribute their programming from central studios to local broadcast points and cable head-ends. The occasional home AV snob would have a receiver. The programming was all transmitted in the clear so there was nothing stopping people other than the (usually significant) expense of the equipment. > Can anyone correct me if I am wrong? The always-reliable Wikipedia </irony> says that HBO began as one of the first pay TV services using underground cable in Manhattan, and Manhattan only. It later added satellite distribution. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HBO -- Ben ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ .. ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~
