I might be about ready for another installment of the LM forum Dish v DirectTV discussion. While being without cable for awhile is so minor I should not even worry about it, I do think I could clear enough trees on the West side of my house (including the big leaning pine that needs to come down soon) to put a satelite high on the front of my house and get a good shot to the southwest. Also, I think it is time for me to look seriously at a generator big enough to run part of my house, instead of the little guy I have that has served me well for 15 years.

Questions:

What is a ballpark cost for regular channels, college football, local news? Installation, monthly?
When does your satelitte go out?
How many TVs can you run with different channels? Do they all need a receiver, is that a separate per month cost?
Has anyone tried internet connection via satellite? Last time I checked DSL was not an option here, and I have internet connection via cable modem.

What other questions should I be asking?
