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. Regards, Mark Sanford Yale Center for Language Study
