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.
