On the other hand, look at it from a capital investment standpoint. 
DMConnection provides news feeds for which we pay.  Purchasing this dish reduces
our inbound costs to $0.00 (barring maintanance), so EVENTUALLY we make money. 
Our outbound traffic is a small fraction of our inbound traffic, so for us our
win is BIG.  The bottom line: We will be buying one (if necessary, porting the
software to run on VMS).
