Rusty, doesn't 17 Million shares outstanding seem like a very small # of shares for a company with Broadcasting rights for all of North America? DISH has 4 valuable orbital slots (better slots than DirecTV, correct me if I'm wrong). I hope they don't waste a lot of bandwidth on local channels. It seems like a simple antenna attached to the dish could solve the local problem. I'd like to see more international stuff & maybe more music. High definition television is coming fast now, & high-definition pay-per-view slots seem infinitely more valuable than local programming to me. My parents have an ECHOSTAR system. They love it, but they still have cable (10.00 per month) for the locals & about ten other channels. MV BABER
