   From information I have seen on the net before I think it is
   3) The cable TV satellite dish

   This dish is not your standard full size $2-3K type of dish but is in
   fact a small (1-2ft diam) cheap receiving dish with no accompanying
   sophisticated electronics worth maybe fifty bucks.   Don't expect
   a high quality signal from this one.  Of course with all those vitamins
   to eat you probably won't have much time to watch TV anyway.
