How do MOVs fail: open or shorted? In other words, how would one know that an MOV in a powerstrip failed and is no longer protecting?

I was using a 1 meter portable dish on C band for NASA. I don't have the space for a 3-meter dish. So, I checked the Dish net web site and don't see the NASA logo in their lineup. Is it still available? I may have to go to DBS... but I have always enjoyed the feeds.

I understand that NASA is available using a FTA receiver and small dish via the Dish DBS. Is that true? If I pick up a LNB and Dish dish... and buy a FTA receiver, is it that simple?
