You might be able to find a "like new" big dish system rather cheap,
but would still be more expensive than a small dish system.  The
big advantage of the big dish is that the total programming cost
is slightly less than the alternatives.

Pretty sure all systems have a line-up of network affiliates.
The only catch is that you cannot be in the broadcast coverage area
of a network station.  If you live out in the boonies it is no
problem getting the networks via satellite.
