we have 1 dish- 3 recievers (1-Living room, 1 sisters room, 1 MY room

)
We have Dish Network. we had Direct TV but there plans arent the best around- they are just big cause they have RCA recievers/dish. we have every channel except local.
You can subscribe to Sattelite- Local channels. think it's 10$ more a month (woth it, cristal clear 6,10,12,36,64, ETC ETC) They didn't say nothing about another dish...we are going to do that.
But for now we have the Antenna hooked up to the TV, When we wanna watch news/local.
we turn the dish off, switch to whatever channel.....This works for now-
anyway- we have it all figured out, and it looks great all set up- Just watched offshore adventures on it, and the Halibut on there was life size
BTW, Cable TV isnt all it's cracked up to be- we had Cox digital and the Picture/sound is like a DVD on sattelite. Cable is foggy and the sound isn't great- plus not as many channels/music stations- My Dish even has games on it

Cable is good for the price, but not if you want to watch movies on it and enjoy it.
thanks for helpin'
