I looked into Equatorial quite completely some time ago.  Their
big problem is that they are very expensive.  The RO dishes cost
about 4X as much as for conventional TVRO, and their channel
time costs are very high.  Their equipment is only usable for their
service, and they consider all their encoding techniques to be
proprietary.
