6. ... he goes around to all the folks in his customer service area and rearranges all their TV satellite dishes into a "phased array" and runs the thing out of his attic, with computers and stuff. Can you do that?

---------------------------------------------

Sounds barely possible but unlikely. When you build a phased array you need to control the spacing between the elements very tightly. If the various dishes were randomly located, it might be possible to "crunch" the data and get useful results, but I'm dubious.

Yeah, me, too, but for another reason. The dishes would have to be aimed at the same area in the sky for Sheen's purposes. However, for satellite TV, the dish needs to be aimed at the satellite.

Seems the dish company would be getting a lot of complaints from customers who couldn't get the WWF Pay-Per-View they ordered.
