Pay as you go satellite

That sounds really good, Mel! The channel limitation with two receivers and a Pathway X2 is that you can watch different channels on each receiver, but only if those channels are on the same satellite. If the channel the "master" tunes to happens to be on 72.7 for instance, the "slave" receiver will not be able to watch channels that are on the 61.5 satellite. Fortunately, Dish recently moved the bulk of the most popular channels from 72.7 to 61.5, so that may not be an issue for most users. The majority of the eastern arc spot beamed local channels are also on 61.5, so that makes it even less likely there will be channel conflicts.
