Hi John, Nice to hear from you. Yeah a lot sure has changed... So many NEW Sats... I'm thinking of going with a new Motorola DSR922. I found one for $549.95. It doesn't come with a digicipher. But since I'm only planning on free to view, would I still have to buy one...? Bob gave me a really good, less expensive way to go with a Travis DBS 3500 and using an old c band receiver to move my dish... Sure would be a lot less expensive.

Everything is still there, except it is digital. DVB receiver will bring in a bunch of channels. The problem is that some of the popular channels aren't available to the back yard dish. Obvious example: ESPN. The kids at National Programming Service have a solution in the pipeline that will take a few months to flesh out. It is some kind of IPTV that is used by rural electric cooperative head ends for small cable systems. There aren't many details available. Oh, since you left, Echostar Charlie has started doing everything he can to kill off c-band. We don't meed more enemies.
