Thanks for such helpful advice!

wow, great info ... thanks!

Oh, I've checked out the FTA selections pretty carefully, .. I pretty much just wish to get PBS, and news ... that's about all I prefer to watch ... I don't even care much about movies, as I will rent an occassional one.

The older I get, the less interested in sports I become ... of course, I should say, the older I get, the worse off the 'Niners and Raiders keep getting ... (I'm in the Bay Area)

oh well. ...

But my wife is European .. speaks several languages fluently, and surely will appreciate some of the foreign channels.

(I'm also an EU citizen). (American, born though)

Thanks for the dish size thoughts ... I'm guessing the "motorized FTA" package Sadoun sells (I forget the dish ,,, 30 inches .. or 31 meters ... or 31 centimeters ...?) whatever it was ... anyhow, that system ought to tune me in happily ....

Hmm, ... maybe I'll leave those "DISH" dishes up there ... I have no use for them ... but luckily, our house opens up in the back (facing south - southeast, unobstructed) to spacious public open land ... just grassy level land for walking ... so I may be able to pop a bigger dish up there someday.

I might even be able to situate my dish right on my deck ,,, there's quite a bit of clear sky view.

... thnk I'll order that system ...

Thanks!
