I'm not very familiar with it. Basically buy the equipment, dish and receiver, guy I now spent $300 for a good dual-satelite receiver and dish. Dish mount is equiped with a motor, automatically moves dish between sats. Once set up it pulls in channels from around the world, stuff from Europe Canada U.S., even Al Jazeira(sp). Every movie channel as well as the PPV ones. Because system is based on getting channels FREE, receiver has built in computer od sorts, so that when code is scrambled by signal sender he simply goes to his computer and gets the new satelite code from one of many on-line FTA sites, enters it into receiver via remote - done in 2-3 minutes, but every few days this is necessary. I would get it but the # of channels is overwhelming, with two kids in the house the likelyhood of something inappropriate being seen is too high. He set it up in Oct. last year, so if cable is $50/mo, it has already paid for itself.
