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. Brian Matthews uw-june!dragon
