Thank you, Mark, for filling us in on the European
DBS scene. Sounds like DBS is a lot more popular in
Europe. Those small dishes must be a familiar site
there. Wow. So Echostar is one of two leaders in
European DBS (multi-sat) systems. Sounds like they're
getting their feet wet in Europe. By the way, I bought
a DMX system (for about $700) a few months back.
I will put it up soon. 95 24-Hour, non-stop Music
Channels (soon to be 120), much of the music is European.
Dutch, German, Danish, Norwegian, Scottish, Irish, even
24-Hour Flamenco, it's a recordable mini-disc owner's
dream! I hope DISH gives us plenty of European programming.
I thought by now television would truly be global.
I grew up playing tournament table tennis, was ranked #1
in the U.S. in every junior age group, took up tennis &
racketball. I'm looking forward to trying to play European
music by ear on my (circum-1980) Roland synthesizer, which
I bought last month for $275. I was a big fan of Peter Gabriel's
Genesis and saw them three times.
Cheers,
