I have a big old 25 inch satellite dish....
Its free (not illegal) - all I had to pay for was the dish, reciever, and cable. Actually all the arabs across the nation have this dish. You get many channels with it too....tons of arab channels(weather women :hail ) some Eygptian and a few Japan/Chinese channels. I got mine from Dearborn, Michigan though....
HOWEVER,
If you have Dishnetwork....you can get Al-Jazeera...I dont own Dishnetwork - so I wouldnt know how much it is.
I get the luxury of hearing both bias sides of any story...arab point of view...the american point of view...it really makes things alot clearer.
But if you actaully are interested in this - get Dishnetwork - although I dont think it would be worth getting just for 1 channel and to see a zillion more things that CNN, MSNBC, etc.. etc... doesnt show. Hell Al -Jazeera even got a few camera shots of the 10th Mountain Division (theres a reason why CNN isnt with them...)
Alot of people have emailed me about free satellite television....I dont know how to program Dishnetwork -
