Radio Shack now sells prepaid cards for Dish Satellite TV....no contracts. The cards are sold in $30 or $40 increments. They also have an RV Dish
system for $99. You can buy multiple cards in advance and the expiration depends on the programming you choose.
The Radio Shack employees could not tell me if it would work in Baja (Mulege for me). My guess is that you would need a larger dish. The Dish Network
website is not very clear when trying to get specific information regarding exactly what you need. I haven't called them yet but I think that is what
it will take to get clear.
You can also buy a tripod stand and a signal locater for about $40.each. The signal locater would eliminate a lot of problems when trying to set it up
yourself.
Any opinions or has anyone tried this yet?

The following are also selling the Prepaid package:

You can add any amount to your account and it will be used as needed.
From what I've heard, an oversize dish may be needed as far South as Mulege. Others have practical experience.
