5,000 channels and still nothng on!
The state flower of West Virginia is in full bloom, I see.
That's not just watching tv: That's a hobby.
I wonder what kind of receivers hw uses to view those channels.
ok. You win.
At least he's not stalking some little chickadee!
I had one of those large, movable dishes on my roof from 1990-93. A storm blew it down and ruined it, cost too much to replace. But during the time I had it, it picked up many interesting things, such as uncensored coverage of the 1st Gulf War and the L.A. riots.
That's a touch much. that guy's porch looks like a mushroom farm.
I have a ten foot movable dish with a C & Ku lnb. I can get nearly that many alone. I'm going to add an MPEG2 Free-to-Air dish to pick up some things no longer available on C-band systems such as NASA Select. Also, when there's bad weather here in Memphis, I'll be able to move the smaller dish to another city's affiliate that is carrying the program I'm watching sans the weather crawls and warnings. You see, I like as few view-obstructing graphics as possible.
Get over here.

I wonder what he could do with one of my 60 foot dishes? LOL!
thanks for the info. the image of the big and small dishes was sort of how I am planning to plant the Free-To-Air dish. I've never heard of StarBrand before. I'll do more reading about it. The FTA system I'm looking at was found a Skyvision.com. It's a Pansat 2700A MPEG2 FTA reciever w/a 3 foot movable dish. Pick up a few hundred more channels. More is never enough. Two dishes will do. I'm not going to turn my yard into a smaller version of NRAO's Very Large Array dish farm near Socorro, New Mexico.
StarBand is a consumer-grade internet broadband service, although I use the term 'broadband' with some reservations. The SkyVista stuff is far better, but the gear's more expensive. Since bot hStarBand and SkyVista transmit as well as receive, it's a bigger pop for that kind of gear.
If all you're doing is receiving, check out the Andrew Corp type 100 and type 100 satellite dishes. Good stuff.
LOL. The picture reminds me of the kids who stuff $5,000 worth of stereo and sound equiptment into a 1973 Vega worth about $300.
Those were the network feeds. A friend had one of those behemouths in his yard, and it was always a hoot to watch those feed stations. You got to see what all went on during commercial breaks during the evening news, sporting events, morning shows....anything the network did live. I think someone got into trouble for saying some things he shouldn't have said on one of the feeds as well. For some reason I think it was Al Michaels, but I very well could be wrong.
It was some anchorwoman who called CBS (Cheap Broadcasting Service).
Corin's secret is out ping.
I beg your pardon. I am NOT from West Virginia.
LOL!
You beat me to it!
