C-band offers over 100 additional channels free. On the other hand, the little dish people have only been in business for about five years, and each of them has had at least 3 price increases. Either that, or they have decreased the channels in a package and kept the price the same, which boils down to the same thing. Far from it, we sell and service the small dishes as well as the big dishes. They have their place.
Some people live in apartments or neighborhoods where the big dishes are forbidden.
Some people just don't have the room for a big dish in a postage stamp sized yard, and some people just plain don't like the looks of the bigger dishes. To all these people, the small dishes are a godsend. One other group of people will find the small dishes to be the best choice. If your family just has to have more than one receiver, then the small system, which sits on one satellite with a lot of channels, is perfect. All we are saying is be aware of the total cost of the system you are considering.
