its not yet.  its heading for about 50% nascar, but it will still
cover motorcycle races, formula 1, etc the other 50% of the time.

screw the local channels.  you *can* get the strong ones with rabbit
ears or whatever.

Dish Network (DirectTV's primary competitor) charges $5/month for each
additional reciever with the same programming package.  To do this,
they require all recievers be hooked up to the same phone number so
they can verify them (the recievers check in periodically to a 800
number, maybe once a week in the wee hours of the AM, mostly this is
used to upload PPV info).  The standard dish they use easily supports
two recievers, more than two either requires a relay switch box, or
using an additional dish.   I'm sure DirecTV is similar.
