You don't live around Blacksburg, do you? The mini-dish is not an option for 
most of us, because that would mean we'd have no networks at all. Without 
cable, there is little hope of getting a clear, or even legible picture of 
NBC, CBS, etc. (And since I live in a basement apartment, I can't just put a 
big antenna up...as is the case with 90% of B'burg's residents...)
