Hey guys, I really appreciate you explaining all that to me.  It does clear 
up a lot of things.
Somewhere along the line, I guess a lot of people started figuring that you 
have to subscribe to someone's sattellite service to pick up any stations.  
Correct me if I'm wrong, but certain companies (the International Channel for 
one) pump out their signals to anyone who cares to watch for free.
Do you know of any others that do this sort of thing?
Is it just a matter of pointing the dish at the right part of the sky, 
dialing in a frequency and watching it?
Where might I get a dish and receiver?
Thank you so much for your patience with a beginner,
-Kenny
