Michael R can likely add details, but my own recollection:
We contracted with Dish in mid-2002. A number of questions arose at that
time, and we put them in a "frequently asked questions" file for Vanguard
residents. See:
http://venus.soci.niu.edu/~jthomas/vanguard/Stuff/dishsat.html
At the time, it was the best deal around. I was among those originally
uncomfortable with the extended contract, but in looking around, it
seemed a good deal. Comcast and others weren't available at the time.
Dish added the security cameras that we can access from our TVs.

The minutes from 1999 to Feb 23 '04 are online on the Vanguard homepage
