Got the Pansat 3500s today-now have access to AC3 channels. I now consider the "aquisition and installation" phase of this project complete. I had an initial budget of $400 and I used it all (I plan to sell the Coolsat soon so not counting that or the Sherwood receiver). If I can scare up some more cash I'll spring for an analog receiver and that will be all for this year. I wanted a PC card but after crawling under the house once I decided to hold off!
