I was driving around my neighborhood today and saw a single-lnb dish that had a pegasus logo on it. It appeared to be pointed at directv's 101. Has anybody heard about Pegasus or is it just a manufacturer of dishes?
Pegasus (Pegasuck) use to be a reseller of DirecTv, mostly in rural areas. You had to go through them and they had different pricing. If I remember right, if you had a DVR you got a bill for Pegasus and one from DirecTV just for the DVR.
In MN if you didnt live in a major area (Minneapolis/St Paul/suburbs, St Cloud, rochester or Duluth) you had Pegasus.
I got into the satellite business about a year before Pegasus went away. They were in about 15% of the area I covered "the Starkville-Columbus area" and were a pain in the ass to deal with. I believe they charged a royalty fee of 5 dollars.
