Al Jessup of Beckley adjusts one of his 12 satellite dishes Saturday at his home on James Street. All 12 dishes are in working order receiving 5,000-plus radio and television stations and Jessup plans to buy his 13th soon.

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.
