Re: Katrina

That's what we have, too, Ceres. DirecTV dish. I don't know which package, but more channels than we need plus the locals [most of which are terrible but serve as windows to the major networks] and all HBOs for less then $65 a month. Ms. Fatma's a movie freak, so HBO's a must. The downside of dish is that heavy storm clouds between the satellite and the dish will black you out. The upside is most of those blackouts are very short lived [a few minutes], unlike lightning blowing out cable [hours to days]. An added bonus--you don't get any of those embarrassingly amateurish ads for local dry cleaners and such that are a mainstay of cable.

Donna, we have a satellite (Direct) but do not spend near that much! More
like half. We got a dish after our cable line was cut every time there was a
sm activity such as the lawn aerated, etc. I watch very little tv however if I
wanted to the good stations (HGTV, CNN, History, DIY) require cable or
satellite. Also my husband is a big sports fan.
Hurray your mother is able to be up and out. Imagine how great she
feels!
