RCA is test-marketing its' Digital Satellite System with 18" dish here in
Little Rock, Arkansas as well as Jackson, MS and one other area
(Shreveport, LA?) Of the 10 to 20 units each store in our area received
to sell, I understand most have been sold. The picture quality looks
very, very good from the demo I watched. I would much rather spend $699
for DSS (plus monthly programming fee) and own the system than to pay
(what I was told) a $300 installation fee for a Primestar-type service
just to rent it (PLUS monthly programming fee.) Look out cable!
