That is my favorite station in the world. I got Sirrius because I thought it would allow me to listen to them in different states but I was wrong.
If you have never listened to them check them out.

I can't find anyone in AK to just sell me the system,they all want to install it and the install quotes have been from $1,500-2,500 + system cost. I can buy the system here however the man here doesn't know what size dish I would need so he assumes I will need the largest but isn't sure.
I would love to find a used system and have been watching Craigslist hoping to see one there. And also having the same trouble with Dish network except I can buy the system but they aren't sure of dish size needed and we have a little past credit issues and they can't tell me if I would be able to get service even after I bought my dish and receiver. I called Dish but they told me to call someone local in AK but everyone I called said they weren't sure because normally the install their systems and those people are pre-approved before the install so that they can get in on the specials Dish offers

Sounds like a Catch 22 situation.

I feel for you, MM. Satellite internet can be pretty hellish. But you'll probably be okay with it with just your family on it.

I was looking for coupon codes for the Milepost for ya and my satellite connection went to hell last night. Truly.

Ok something is happening to my posts.I posted and it never showed up.
I checked Starband and I am going to try a couple more places. Hughes says only one of their installers can set up a system per the FCC
