I am disgusted with network television.
I am also disgusted with the alternatives.

The cable company that serves our area says
they will not be running cable to our neighborhood because
the housing density is not great enough
(their cost would be too high).

When I called WHT, they said they didn't know if they would be
serving our area since the cable company had done such a good
job of monopolizing the market
(they were not getting enough orders).

What alternatives can I pursue at this point?
Does anyone out there have any information on dish antennas?
How much are they?
Can I get cable-type programming and channels this way?
