        Have you heard about the 4DTV system?  It's a BUD (7 or 10 ft)
        based system that pulls in C/Ku in analog & digital, and also
        has the technological innards to deal with the small dish
        systems, all using the same dish & the same receiver.  My
        store (Radio Shack) just started offering them.  Main drawback
        is the cost ($1099 + s/h), but, for an all-modes solution,
        there aren't all that many options.
