The dishes back then WERE the six footers, but the 32" dishes have
been around about fifteen years, so I think that if allowed earlier,
they would have been developed earlier as well.
I know a guy that HAD a six-footer in his back yard; we used to go to
his house sometimes to watch different sporting events that were
blacked out in our region. He lost the dish in a major storm a few
years back (a tree limb smashed it) and switched to DirecTV. Picture
is better, if anything and he still gets about 200 channels, just not
the blacked-out events. I think his wife breathed a sigh of relief
over that part.
