al value.
Technology: Directv offers a
high-power digital DBS service via
the DSS system, which is available
throughout the continental United
States. EchoStar also offers a digi-
tal quality high-power DBS service
via The Dish Network. PrimeStar’s
digital service uses a medium-
power system, which limits its
channel capacity and requires a
larger dish.
Manufacturers: DSS units,
which receive DlRECTV program-
ming, are manufactured by some
of the most well respected compa-
nies in the world including RCA,
Sony, Panasonic, Sanyo, Toshiba,
Hitachi, Samsung, Hughes

As people continue to
acquire the latest technological
products for their homes this holi-
day season, many industry
experts believe that the hottest
gift on the top of many wish lists
this year is small dish satellite
TV
An increasing number of peo-
ple are learning about and experi-
encing satellite TV’s benefits in
comparison to cable. Advanced
technology in the form of satellite
dishes as small as 18-inches wide
can now receive more than 200
channels of digital programming
entertainment—far more movie
channels, pay per view channels
and sports programming, with
monthly payments comparable to
cable.

For those people, there may be no
better way to usher in the new year
than with the National Cancer
• Institute's (Nt’ll recommendation to
eat “5 A Day." Eating five or more
daily servings of fruits and vegeta-
bles can better your overall health
and may reduce the risk of cancer.
Unlike many resolutions, 5 A
Day is easy NCI has developed 15
tips for eating 5 A Day this winter
that can help Americans meet
many of their resolutions because
it is a great step toward maintain-
ing a healthy diet and feeling
more energetic.
With meals...
• Add 1/4 cup chopped dried
fruit to a howl of hot cereal. To
plump up and soften the fruit,
cook it with the cereal.
• Cook sliced apples and pears
and sprinkle with cinnamon.
Serve warm, at room temperature
or chilled
• Add frozen mixed vegetables
when you heat canned or pack-
aged soup.
• For a new sandwich twist,
fill a pita or rolled tortilla with an

assortment ofchopped vegetables,
along with sliced turkey, lean
roast beef, tuna or cheese.
• Serve a vegetable platter
w ith dip as a way to start a meal.
For snacks...
• Keep a stash of dried fruit in
your briefcase, purse or locker.
They make a great 5 A Day snack,
and they don’t spoil.
• Serve hot cider after skating
or sledding.
• Make your own trail mix.
with dried chopped fruits, raisins,
breakfast cereal and pretzels.
• Have a glass of vegetable or
tomato juice as a mid-morning
snack.
• Bake a white or sweet potato in
the microwave and eat as is or top
with grated cheese, chopped broccoli,
or another favorite topping.
When eating out...
• Try vegetable-topped,
spinach, or “salad" pizza.
• Have an appetizer that deliv-
ers a serving of vegetables or
fruit, like vegetable or pea soup,
grilled vegetables, or fruit salad.
• Visit the salad bat—fill your
plate with an assortment of let-
tuce. raw vegetables, fruits, and
vegetable salads.
• Order a side dish of cooked
vegetables if they are not included
in your meal.
• Choose berries, a baked apple,
or another type of fruit for dessert.

another licensed DBS service
provider, complements the
DlRECTV lineup and brings the
total channels available to DSS
owners to up to 200. PrimeStar
and EchoStar offer approximately
half the number of channels, far
less pay per view channels, and
very few to almost no sports pro-
gramming packages.
Sports Programming: DlRECTV
offers the most sports packages
and the most games, including
programming not offered on cable
or any other DBS service such as
NFL Sunday Ticket" which deliv-
ers close to 200 regular season
out-of-market games, ESPN
GamePlan “ College Football and
ESPN Full Court" College
Basketball. Sports programming
packages such as those on
DlRECTV deliver hundreds of
games not available on cable.
PrimeStar offers limited sports
programming packages.
Availability: Directv is avail-
able nationwide and DSS systems
are widely available at more than
26,000 consumer electronics
stores such as Circuit City and
Sears, and satellite retailers
across the country. The availabili-
ty of EchoStar’s dish is limited
and the cable-owned service,
PrimeStar, is offered primarily
through local cable operators,
although some of these larger
dishes are also sold through
regional distributors.
Cost: As hardware prices con-
tinue to drop, satellite TV is
becoming more and more attrac-
tive for the consumer. DSS sys-
tems are available for as low as
$199 after a special DlRECTV $200
cash back rebate good through
December 31, 1996. Most DBS
services offer comparable pro-
gramming packages from $5.95 to
$59.99 a month. With more than

brands of DSS from which to
choose. EchoStar’s equipment is
manufactured by lesser known
companies including SCI Systems,
Groupe Sagem, I T 1. and
Weingard. General Instrument
and Satellite Atlantic manufac-
ture PrimeStar’s larger dish.
Portability: The 18-inch satel-
lite dish is very portable in case of
a residence change and can be
used anywhere within the conti-
nental U.S. Both the DSS and
EchoStar systems are manufac-
tured in the form of dishes that
can be mounted on your RV.
However, with the DSS system,
viewers receive more program-
ming with Directv. The larger
PrimeStar unit requires a perma-
nent pole-mount in a consumer’s
yard that makes it virtually
impossible to relocate, and does
not offer suspended billing.

The Gift Everyone Wants This Holiday
Season—Satellite TV Systems
cast satellite (DBS) TV service is
Directv*. Directv programming is
received via the DSS* system
(Digital Satellite System), which
offers a satellite dish about the
size of a large pizza. Upstart DBS
firm, EchoStar* markets a similar
dish under The Dish Network
brand, but offers far fewer chan-
nels. Another company called
PrimeStar* sells a larger dish, at
least three feet wide, and is
backed by a consortium of large
cable companies.
With an increasing number of
choices and an equal amount of
advertising claims, it is often diffi-
cult for consumers to make the
right choice when shopping for
this new alternative to large C-
band dishes and cable. Following
are tips on how to purchase the
satellite TV system that’s right
for you and your family:
Programming: The DSS sys-
tem receives twice as many chan-
nels as its competitors, featuring
more than 175 channels of enter-
tainment from Directv, including
more than 60 basic channels, up
to 55 pay per view channels that
feature hit movies for only $2.99
every 30 minutes, special interest
channels and CD-quality audio
music. Programming from U.S.
