Hi Ben,

I wanted to give you the info I have on this subject.

I was told at several Los Angeles area dealers that regular "DSS"
satellite boxes will not pick up Russian programming.  There is
another system called "DSS II" that allows the dish to pick up
signals from two different satellites.  Russian programming, and the
Ukrainian network, are available there.  The problem is that it is an
additional $20 per month, and the dish is about $400-no rebates or
special prices.

Joe
