This message was originally submitted by [log in to unmask] to the LLTI list
at LISTSERV.DARTMOUTH.EDU. If you simply forward it back to the list, using a
mail command that generates "Resent-" fields (ask your local user support or
consult the documentation of your mail program if in doubt), it will be
distributed and the explanations you are now reading will be removed
automatically. If on the other hand you edit the contributions you receive into
a digest, you will have to remove this paragraph manually. Finally, you should
be able to contact the author of this message by using the normal "reply"
function of your mail program.

Dish network does have an area for "educational packages."

The trick is that if you want all the channels to be available all the
time, you need a chunk of hardware to decode each one. So there is an
investment up front beyond the dish.
We worked with our campus video/cable services to set it up--we bought
the equipment and pay the subscriptions, and they see that the signal
gets to the lab (and any other places that are wired for it, a couple of
departmental offices only I think, maybe a classroom or two).
