I've thought about trying Ku band FTA, but I don't want to invest hundreds to get channels 
that might not be available FTA in six months time.  Also, the lack of good guide data for 
mythtv has turned me off.  I don't have a good southern exposure for C-band, unless I put 
it on the roof.  I have a tall southwest-facing house with almost no front yard.  My wife and 
neighbours would not approve of a BUD on my roof.
