    I bought my first 920 along with a corotor 2 and 2 lnbs late in 2006 for 200 dollars. I bought a second 920 in 2008 for 60 bucks never subbed that one but it came with 2 extra remotes so I didnt have to carry from room to room.

    I bought my 920 for $200 about 4 years ago and my 922 for $145 this year.
    System 1: Pansat 2700a with a Moteck SG2100 HH motor drive and a Invacom universal .3 LNB mounted on a Primestar 1.2 meter dish. Also using a Primestar .75 meter with a .8 Channel Master LNB to receive AMC 3 channels (this is because of obstruction in its path!)
    Using Extigy External soundcard to encode AC 3 audio.
    System 2: Pansat 2000v as a slave receiver on the 4DTV GI 920 system that consists of a 1985 8 foot solid dish with a Cotorola II feed horn and 15 degree LNB. For C Band FTA use.

    I bought my GI 922 about three years ago on Ebay for $160 and that included 2 remotes and 3 RF modulators. Shipping was $20 for all the stuff and it came in the original box. This unit died last fall during battery surgery - I should of tried it myself! This spring I bought a 2004 Moto 922 for $126 plus $15 shipping on Ebay. This unit has not been quite right but it works.

    Bought my 920 new in 2000 for $720. I wasn't too happy that the 922 came out about a year later.

    Bought my 922 new from Skyvision in 2007 for $300 something.

    I have many fond memories of watching all the digital Showtime channels and all the MTV and VH1 music video channels before they had commercials.

    I bought the StarChoice DSR-921 (the StarChoice branded 4DTV) in May 1997 for $999 Canadian.(24" dish and receiver package) Besides receiving the StarChoice programming I had installed another 24" dish to receive HITS when they dropped the encryption. At that time I recorded the Tarzan movies off of AMC (American Movie Classics). It was a great channel with John Burke giving trivia about the movie from inside Radio City Music Hall in New york City. And most importantly, NO COMMERCIALS!!!!
