Jimbo, if youwant to watch different things on each tv, you need separate recievers. It is similar to Direct tv. Not sure about their internet, imo stick with something wire like a DSL, or cablefor the internet.


Here is the deal with service issues. The dish works on line of site. If it can't see the satelite, you get no signal. The dish is aimed at an elavation angle of roughly 32 degrees. Then it is aimed to the SW at around 235 degrees. When heavy rain, or snow storms move in there will be a drop in signal strength. The drop depends on the severity of the storm. As the signal strength drops, the picture will be fine untill it hits around 45percent. At that point you would start to see blocks appearing in the picture. These are digital packets of information. As the signal strength continues to drop, next is freeze framing. When the signal strength hits near the bottom, the picture goes out. Now if you have a dish that is peaked in in the high 90's you should be fine about 99 percent of the time. I think out of all of these dishes that I installed I only saw 1 dish that hit 100. Most were in the 92 to 99 percent range. Some in the 70-90 percent, anything under 70 and I would try to talk the customers out of it.
If you experience problems during storms, check you signal strength, make a note. Then check it on a ood day, and see if you an tweak it in a bit.

Forgot to mention there are alot of different sales options out there for the dish. You can now get it through Verizon, and my friends that did tell me the package deal, and the monthly price were excellent.
