we have a.3 mile setup with two directtv dishes going for the past 3 years. it has worked with very little problems. it doesn't have line of sight, rather it has to go through lots of trees and veggitation. the only maintainence was the plastic I siliconed to the front of the waveguide got brittle and I had to replace it. I replaced it with some thin glass from $1 store picture frame. that should last for a while. also, since the wave guide is aluminum (dryer duct) it wont oxidize.
When it first came out I went all out and got everything there is to get for the newton - enjoyed it for 2 years then switched to palm. It still sits in my closet if anyone is interested in lifting it from me.
