Maybe you can tell why, nowadays, a 10' dish for TVRO?

C Band TVRO is TOTALLY different than DBS satellite TV. DBS (Dish, DirecTV)
is a prepacked set of channels designed to appeal to the largest audience.
C Band is a totally different beast; you get to decide which of the hundreds
(when you include audio services, thousands) of channels to watch (listen)
to. DBS didn't, and never could, replace C Band. For the "average" person,
DBS is the right answer. But then again, the average person doesn't machine
metal, either.
