Greetings, Todd.

I have had two problems with TV-5 here at Yale:

1. Our business office didn't pay the bill one month, and they shut us off for a day;

2. Someone knocked into the dish and took it off satellite. I had to go out on the
lawn and give the dish a little push while I had a student inside watching the tv
screen.  When the picture came back on, I left the dish in that position.

We have had no other problems with it.
