I didn't get the feeling that classicsat was attacking Dishnut. He was lashing out at the TV technology article...rightfully. The C band and KU band satellite spectrum won't go away. The internet is not a broadcast friendly technology. It transmits data point to point. There is no way to economically get a high quality TV signal to the entire US other than by satellite. The transmission medium will go from analog to digital, and some will go from MPEG 2 to MPEG 4 but the big dish will always be able to pick up those signals. Anyone who wants to spend the time and money to keep their big dish in working condition will always have something to watch. I have the 922 4d receiver. It hasn't set the dish world on fire, but the system is great. The pictures are fantastic and the price has dropped to about $ 440. I also have a DVB receiver. Lots of "Free to Air" signals there. Lots more than I would ever want to watch. As Mark Twain said, "The rumors of my death have been greatly exaggerated."
