[mythtv-users] Free-to-Air Satellite Service

[Rob Jensen]

I'd find a way to get the wife on board if the options were anything
but the religious channels.  Unfortunately, we'd need a BUD to get USA
Network, and no amount of begging is going to win that fight.

The only other option is if any channels will be airing the summer
Olympics.  We both got really frustrated at NBC/Comcast's insistence
to show the same 3 countries rather than showing the best performances
(e.g. only showing USA, Canada, and Russian ice skating, while not
showing several gold/silver/bronze performances).
