"Satellite feeds usually have problems when the weather is bad."

Yes, I'm aware of the occasional thunderstorm interruption. We've been DISH customers for 14 years.

"Do you have access to a cable feed?"

No. We are too rural.

"If you're in an area that's far from a telephone company's CO…"

Therein lies my problem. Ours is "the farthest house from the CO," according to Frontier's GM and he assures me fiber optic cable (for our area) is not going to happen in my/his lifetime. So satellite is my only option, but even then I'm not certain it will provide enough speed for high def movies. The satellite promo promises "up to 10 megs," which leaves them some wiggle room.

Thanks.
