I DO NOT WANT ILLEGAL PROGRAMMING! But I know that there is lot’s of free programing out there if I can get this set-up. Due to lay-off I can not afford Dish or Direct, and we live in a Rural area where with the DTV boxes offered by the Goverment we only receive 8 stations and only 4 of those will my Family watch. The system we have is Digital, as the company we brought it from did inform us that everything would be going digital. Does direct & Dish have the only liscens to own a sattilite? What happen to the right to receive these transmissions, after all, I’m sure American tax dollars paid to put thos Sattilites in the sky. So if someone out there can give me some advise on this I and my Family will be forever thankfull.

Johnson (Dominion Video Satellite–first round applicant), I found the article interesting (but I agree most others not in the industry probably wouldn’t!) It took my father 16 years to finally launch the satellite service, but he did it through a technical joint venture with DISH Network.

Thanks for writing it for history’s sake.
