>Good grief why are they doing this to us!!!

Perhaps we should give some understanding to the fact that the satellite  TV reception impacts on others besides RV'ers. It impacts strongly on  the local, fixed site, TV stations that have for years been providing our communities with television reception. I think it is perfectly understandable they should try to influence the industry regulators to protect their markets. Their base for existence is network TV, if they loose that they loose their business (their advertisers). I for one think they have a greater right to stay in business then do RV'ers who want network signals for free. RV'ers, do not have any god given right to receive all or every signal that is broadcast. If you have an argument take it up with your satelite broadcaster who sold you the equipment and programs. I know when I have looked into it, over a year or so ago, two different providers made it pretty clear they could not
guarantee we could pick up network signals. You should also understand the RV'ers are not the only folks receiving signals via home disks. Local communty residents have more receivers then do RV'ers and this is what bothers the fixed based TV stations and hence their network providers. This will probably get worked out in time but you can be sure that when RV'ers are able to get network signals via satellite, without complications, they will probably have to fee subscribe for it in some
fashion.
