Yeah... my satallite goes out maybe 6 times a year (last time was during the Oz season finale... what is it with picking bad timing). But even with 6 times a year... that is still better than my cable that used to go out about 6 times a month! (and I get WAY more channels for the same money... and STILL find myself flipping around with nothing good to watch) Now... if I could just get a dual decoder TiVo to go with my satallite (I have Dish Network... which is a bit behind the curve... DirecTV users have better decoder options) -chris <http://www.mythtech.net>
