This is the reason I still haven't sold out to those little  ripoffs
and have kept the BUD in use. C/Ku-Band and 4dtv. Sometime will have to
add the mpeg2 receiver. No two way internet with big dish yet, just one
way.
www.skyvision.com (with links to direcway and cband.net)
www.satmart.com (good prices)
And to really trip your trigger, www.global-cm.net/

Looking at the image of the oval dish in the direcway advertisement,
looks like the old echostar dish, larger than the other "little
dishes". Might have a little less rain fade. One could also mount the 
lnb onto a 6' mesh dish and really get a fair signal.
