ahh... thanks... just wondering...

Just wondering how local cable companies get their feeds? In my city, the cable company is operated by the city, which sux... but I noticed they have a HUGE satellite dish with what seems like a ton of transponders... is that where they get their feeds from? if so... what keeps ME from getting...

I'm just curious as to why people would prefer a 4DTV system over a smaller DishNetwork setup??? I know you can mix and match channels, but it just seems like your spending about the same with Dish but getting more channels... Any input into the question?
