The more I read about these new applications, re; <<<<(Hughes DSS) system providing programming and internet download? Looks like a "one dish" solution>>>>, the more I see the Futuretrak satellite space scanner and their patented flat array antenna providing the solutions to the growing needs of these satellite providers. I was in Las Vegas for the CES show and Futuretrak was extremely busy and it looked to me as though they were selling a ton of those space scanners right there on the floor. I was not given a clear answer to the questions posed by this thread a week or so ago. Apparently they cannot comment directly at this time, but I am more confident in their ability to become a required accessory to all DISH users, and all DBS vendors as a whole. Also, the ability to receive internet transmissions is apparently one of the features of this new antenna/scanner set up.
