I would like some information on dish antennas (sp?) for receiving cable
television broadcasts direct from the satellite. Some of the things I would
like to know are:
o The cost of a full system. (The dish, and equipment to make
sense of what the dish receives.)
o Quality of reception. Is this standard over different
dish sizes and types, or do bigger ones give better reception,
etc.
o Possibility of hooking neighbors up to tl%system.
o Possible environmental effects. Will all the cats in the
vicinity drop dead when I turn it on.
Also, I have heard that prices are *much* lower direct from Hong Kong. Is
this true, and if so, how much lower, is the quality the same, and does
any one know any one I could contact in Hong Kong.
Send me mail to uw-june!dragon, (the path on the header can be used) or post
to the net. If their are a vast number of responses (>=5), I will summarize
and post the results.
Thanx, as the say, in advance.
