I've looked at the Skystream stuff... very nice, and decent looking, too.
In fact, I'm working through some preliminaries on my odd lot to see if
I can't get one installed. Biggest issue is with the neighbors...we're
in town and have zoning issues to deal with. But, since the world is
gone "green" it might work as a "test" case. And, based on their
numbers, I figure payback is in <5 years at our current rates. If
that's the case, then it's certainly worth doing.
