Oh, and I'd like to shout out that the computer shop that recently moved from Davis to Ball square installs free-to-air satellite systems. So if you want to supplement your digital locals with some satellite signals ( free satellite has lots of foreign language broadcasters, public television, government ( NASA, Pentagon )), give them a call.
I've also read on forums that one of the pay satellite providers ( forget whether it ws Directv or Dish ) has a prepaid option. Some people report that they were actually able to buy service on a per-day basis ( it had something to do with a "Green Dot" cash card sold at Wal-Mart ), which would be good for us who might only need big channels when we're entertaining.
