I was thinking about this subject over the weekend. I was watching some recordings I made of Get Smart from the various G10 channels. The station slates, weather girls, Beau the dog, theme music, promos for other long lost programs all bring back pleasant memories.

WOW that lineup was excellent. I got into this too late for that.
Yeah, I just wiped out a bunch of 2007 era Equity channels off of a receiver that had not been used in a while.
It was like remembering that day when the Equity channels had red screens.
Oh well, they're gone.
Very pleased that the Luken channels survive...

Yes, I missed the G-10R's stations line up......
To bad, I can't get out of town local news like KTWO-DT from WY or KARK-DT Little Rock, ARK, anymore
And yes I loved the TUBE-TV music channel these were the days to live more, but sadly they all but gone....

G10R was my first satellite. Living in an apartment with heavy tree cover, I was speechless when, one day after searching for two full weeks, G10R popped right in. Once I was able to receive all the other sats, I realized how special G10R really is (was).

This is true, right now though VH1 Classic is all we have though. I should have recorded some also. I have on tape 6 hours of the the 20th anniversary of MTV the first day that VH1 Classic aired from a few years ago. That has some video's I never see on VH1 classic normally. I also have stuff from VH1, MTV, and Much Music Canada from the middle to late 80's.

My first fixed dish was aimed at 123. Then I added a LNB for 119 (NASA) and 129 for whitesprings (which is also gone now). I loved that setup.

Oh the Memories! What a sad notion to know that we have lost these channels. I am sad. I am truly sad and this is the reason that I would like to start up a new broadcast company that supports our measures of FTA and attempts to replace what we have lost.
This is quite a dream, but I would like to be able to do this and if I keep trying, maybe I will find a way. I am pursuing it with the ability that I can muster. It won't be easy, there is just too much competition with the pay channels as I am sure that you agree, butI am going to keep trying as I believe that TV should be totally free and I want to make it so.
At least we still have a few, and enough that we can still be proud of.
