Do any of you located on the west coast get TV5, the French-language station from Quebec? We are looking into buying a satellite (from Dishnetwork) for our French House for this. I tried this about 4 years ago, however, and it turned out that the satellite that TV5 was running on (148) was too far east to be able to be picked up here. This time, the salesmen are again very anxious to make a sale, but noone can tell us if this problem still remains. Does anyone have any experience with this? Dishnetwork's webpage indicates that TV5 runs on both satellites 148 and 61.5. Is 61.5 accessible from the west coast? Thanks. Betty Woerner Media Librarian Reed College Portland, OR
