    Contest: Enter to Win an Amiko mini HD SE from Titanium Satellite - Ends 5/27/2014

    I got into FTA back in 2009 with a used coolsat 5000 and a universal LNBF. I spent the better half of the day outside trying to get 91w. Finally I got a signal and scanned in 91w and after that I was hooked.

We would always stop by the ice cream/candy store and then bike over to the rail line and watch trains go by. The cool trains were the ones that had nothing but John Deere tractors...

    I had called on Thursday to upgrade our 522 over to a 722k w/OTA module and they wanted $200 and the CSR didn't seem to know about the OTA module so I said I would think about it and call back later. I called back 30 min. later and they quoted the same $200 but included a $50 discount...
