I'm not letting go of DISH until we see if they get the access to the local stations. Have you noticed that Congress is rather busy at the moment? I'd be surprised if anything will change fairly soon (and don't forget cable is lobbying against it, as well).

DISH is very interesting considering potential to get access to local stations, their connection to WEBTV, and the small number of outstanding shares. In your opinion, when do you think that satellite service will provide local stations? Is this topic currently being debated in Congress? Thanks. -Rob
