[Husker] BTN network again

[Anita Jackson]

Mike, satellite providers are pretty clever about positioning a dish. 
Depending on the pitch of your roof and which satellite provider you 
choose (they point their dishes in slightly different directions) they 
may be able to hide your dish. Mine's on the south side of my west 
facing house and is fairly inconspicuous. I have  Dish Network and have 
been very satisfied with the service over the years FWIW.
