Tonight I went into a Classic Stero store, which is a Michigan chain that deals in high-end audio & video components. Sears & Classic Stereo are the only stores I've seen which sell both DirecTV and Dish Network systems, side by side. A asked the salesman which systems are more popular. He told me that they sell about three DISH systems for every DirecTV system. He went on to say that Echostar has underestimated demand and that they are having big-time difficulty getting systems in. This probably explains why no DISH systems are being sold in Best Buys, Circuit City, Radio Shacks or other mega-electronics retailers. Good idea, Jeff, a motorized system. This seems to be the most efficient (and economical) way to access all four "birds". It would probably required a different receiver though, right? MV BABER
