	I'm looking into satellite antenna/receiver systems,
and was wondering if anyone has any recommendations (including
systems to stay away from).  I saw one I like made by Luxor,
which includes an infrared remote which allows changing the
dish's direction as well as changing transponder number.  Has
anyone used one of these?  The sales guy I talked with seemed
to think they are too complicated.  As far as I can tell,
the receiver seems to affect picture quality much more than
dish size.  Is 8 feet enough to get consistently good pictures?

	I'm also looking for a really good laser disk player.
Mostly I want good picture/sound quality and a good remote control -
other features only if they aren't at the expense of the first
two.  Price is important, too.  Any suggestions?
