<div>I use a C-Band system with a 4dtv receiver. I have it integrated with Myth. Maybe I can help. </div>

<div>You can find programing options and prices at: <a href="http://www.callnps.com/alacarte.htm">http://www.callnps.com/alacarte.htm</a> as for equipment, I just placed an ad in the local paper looking for a C-band antenna and receiver. I got at least 10 calls from people who said, "You can have it if you come get it." I found one that was in good shape and brought it home for free. I purchased a used 4dtv receiver (ebay), set up everything myself and subscribed to a package. If you are not willing to DIY, C-Band is probably not a good option as there are very few installers left. My system includes both C and Ku band and an HDD-200 decoder for HD channels. </div>

<div>There is a channel line up at Schedules Direct. I used a PVR-150 to capture the output of the 4dtv via S-video.</div>

<div>I wrote a channel change script for Myth that moves the antenna and changes channels. That too took a little DIY to make it work, but it has worked great.</div>
