The way it used to work:
1. You got a TV set for each classroom.
2. You got dish that allowed you to receive Channel One content
3. You received VCRs to record the content. (Which I am guessing are
now DVRs.)
4. It was all free - The catches were as follows: =20
A. You only get Channel One content
B. Each classroom that elects to have a TV set installed is
highly encouraged to watch a daily 12 minute news broadcast which
includes 2 minutes of ads.
C. There are random audits to see what content you are
watching.

Subject: Channel One Network free?
Our school got a fax offering a free Satellite, TVs, DVRs, wiring, and =20
a video distribution system for our building from Channel One Network. =20
Would anyone with experience using this please chime in and explain =20
the catch? We are resource starved so this looks wonderful on paper. =20
Do they include advertising or what to offset the costs? Any comments =20
on the video's educational quality?
