If satellite radio isn't free, why would satellite TV be free ?
One of my personal life sayings is that most of the time really awful
predictions, like Y2K are never as bad as they say they're going to , and
really fantastic wonderful free perfect things are never really quite that
either usually. 

Also, I don't know if satellite radio works just everywhere, but  friends of
mine on satellite internet connection are also saying it's
dodgey............. one friend of mine lives in the state capital no less,
and says there's no ClearWire or cable there, that he has to have satellite
internet connection, and if it snows, that takes out his connection.  And
it's no  unusual for his satellite internet connection to be out. 

There usually isn't any 'free automatic' really.  I'm naturally skeptical
that there will be 'free automatic just anywhere super perfect' satellite
TV, at least for a while yet. .
Or if there is, they're not telling you the TV for I costs $ 2,000.
  I'm not 'that' cynical generally, but it think the way you portray it is
unlikely for a while yet.

Subject: [NVC] Free Satelite TV

I've just seen a smattering of info on what is supposedly a coming
communications revolution - Free Satelite TV to virtually anywhere. No
more cable TV and there big monthly fees for their big package. It
started in Canada and has spread. Supposedly you can receive some 4000
TV stations no matter where you are - even when having coffee with the
Yeti in the Alps. - all for free// - after a small onetime charge of
around  $100. After that, no more billing. No monthy fee, no other misc.
fees. All free. Includes your local stations, sports, news etc. movie
channels, all of it.

Anyone know anything about this?

Thanks,
