 Yeah I saw that and that was what made it so tempting.  Problem is that
 it's about $1,300 cdn here...
 WS> And the satellite guide appears not to be set up yet.
 WS> It's all still new, anyway.
 WS> I figured Digital will be the future, so why not take advantage of a
 WS> bad situation to prepare.
 Do you eventually have to update your horn on the dish ?
 WS> on a side note, I suggest you don't subscripbe to TVN's adultvision.
 WS> lame adult programming.  :)
 WS> bought their $9.95 weekend...not really with the money.
 Do you know what's been happening with some of the adult channels... they
 seem to be disappearing or changing... just curious what happens to those
 year subscribers.
 
... Never take a beer to a job interview.
