Thread: TELE-Satellite Magazine Interview

Alexander Weise the Publisher of TELE-satellite magazine is flying to Connecticut tomorrow from Germany to interview me about SatelliteGuys.US. (I dont know why he didn't just stay home and call me)

Anyways I am looking for some stuff to tell Alex about you guys for his story. Let me know how SatelliteGuys helps you with this amazing hobby.

I will forward your comments to him and he may use them in his magazine.

I am nervous!

(While he is in Connecticut I will be taking Alex for a tour of ESPN's world Headquarters in Bristol, CT! (although I dont think they are going to let him take pictures inside, as security is very tight there!)

He probably does not have Skype and the long distance call would cost him too much.

Plain and simple: You have a problem, you get an answer here!

Enjoy the interview.

He does have Skype as I have talked to him before via Skype.

He wants pictures I guess... hope he has a wide angle lense.

The forum is full of the finest pictures around!
It's a rare educational resource.

Just the other day, someone pulled up a thread from 2009, discussing the various AJAK motorized mounts.

Someone else asked about receiving two Ku birds flying 2° apart.
We posted up links to old discussions where this had been approached from several angles. (no pun intended)

When the talk turns to Ku satellites close to the horizon, we've got pictures of inverted dishes.
No need for new ones; that was discussed here years ago.

When we're dealing with 30 year old technology, odds are, we already have pictures and discussion.
The bigger problem, is just finding what we got!

I find a forum like this to be the best resource for FTA. I've used it to read receiver reviews and pick my receiver. It's also useful for diagnosing any problems with my system or finding new channels that I didn't know about.

When I first got started with a KU system a few years back, I found everything I needed on this forum. I got it up and running in a short time just by reading, reading some more and rereading every applicable post that I could find on here. Never had to ask a question, it was all here. Some very knowledgeable members here. What a great forum!

This is the best forum with the most accurate answers. Try a Google search for just about any technical FTA satellite question, and the results will lead you here. That's how I found Satelliteguys.us.

You get good unbiased facts, and the moderators keep the B.S. in check.

I have learned a lot here, mostly from searching and reading older threads.

Without FTA satellite channels, we would have 6 PBS and 1 CBS channel. With FTA, including C-band, we get most of the major USA networks plus a lot of other good stuff. Plenty of TV for our needs, and no monthly subscription fee.

Scott:
I've been helped greatly through the Forums here. From when I got started about 3 years ago to now..I probably have asked many of the same questions more than once when I have an issue with my setup, yet everybody remains patient with mne pretty much. I did use the search the other day and foud out how to use Component setup (red, green blue cables) with regular RCA audio cables...Did not know how to hook them up correctly. From looking at a post from 2009, I finally figured it out..The attention is well deserved..Looking forward to hearing how the interview goes..

I wouldn't be nervous, Alexander is a pretty cool guy... I met him at last years CES and spent some time (almost 2 hours) sitting beside him at our get-together this year...
