I think I would get 3 channels other than the locals. Here is your problem with the dishes. I was tracking Hurricane Francis, and as soon as the stuff got important, the Dish-Network dish in my backyard would not get a signal. Add that to the fact that unless you get premium channels they charge you for changes and nickel and dime you for the rest.
I guess what I am trying to say is that I am paying bungloads of money for three channels that I get most of the time, unless it is important that I get them, in which case they are not reliable.

The big question is: Where do we go from here? I am not really happy with what I have, but it is like picking the president, what is the best choice of the crappy options that we have?
