Boing Boing: Man gets 5,000+ channels on 12 dishes. But Still No Tech TV!?

Boing Boing: Man gets 5,000+ channels on 12 dishes: "Man gets 5,000+ channels on 12 dishes
Al Jessup of Beckley, West Virginia, has 12 cheap satellite dishes stuck to his house, which pull in over 5,000 free-to-air channels from satellites all over the sky. He is retired, and delights in odd and foreign programming.

Because the programming is free, it changes regularly, he noted. Sometimes, a program he likes will disappear and something he dislikes will be put in its place, or vice versa. For example, he once had three ABC stations from Wyoming only to have it reduced to one."
