Depending on the spacial diversity of the various cities/receive
sites...I doubt that DirecTV will change their "spot beam" to allow you
(or anyone else for that matter) to receive a market EVEN IF the
Broadcaster would allow it AND you were willing to pay. Just my 2 cents
on that one!
How do you spell SHIVA?

===================================
"War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest
of things. The decayed and degraded state
of moral and patriotic feeling that thinks
that nothing is worth war is much worse.
The person who has nothing for which he is
willing to fight, nothing which is more
important than his own personal safety,
is a miserable creature and has no chance
of being free unless made and kept so by
the exertions of better men than himself."
