    What famous/infmaous game do you remember watching on BUD?

    The Oilers-Bills playoff game in January of 93. Enough said about that one, since it was the greatest comeback in NFL history. The Steelers-Chiefs and Packers-Lions game son Wild Card Satruday the next season were just as good.

    What famous/infmaous game do you remember watching on BUD?

    the Seahawks-Chiefs game in 1990 was one example. Derrick Thomas got 7 sacks but on the last play of the game missed on a potential 8th sack, which was a Dave Krieg to Paul Skansi TD pass that gave the Seahawks a 17-16 victory. Krieg ducked under Thomas' potential 8th sack, and when Krieg...

    What stuff did you watch on the big dish back then?

    When we had our dish, it came with VC, and we could HBO and the movie channels. I could get Broncos games on the Denver stations, and i couldn't really get a good signal ota, so the dish stayed put, even when we got cable.

    I miss the old days!

    Most of my NFL games were NBC, but sometimes they'd use SBS6 for backhauls. K1 or K2 though were most likely.

    What stuff did you watch on the big dish back then?

    Sometimes, news anchors or sports announcers getting mad was worth having a dish. Like for example news anchors didn't like the way they looked on certain monitors, so they would come in to the control room and ask to adjust the camera black, contrast, chroma levels, etc. That could be funny.

    What stuff did you watch on the big dish back then?

    Why was some CBS NFL games VC-IB but some ITC? NBC games were always ITC, so i wonder what was up with CBS in those days?

    What stuff did you watch on the big dish back then?

    When i had one, i'd watch the two NBC baseball games on Saturdays, until MLB started encrypting in the late 80s. ABC had two games on Monday Nights back then too. I can't rememebr how many NFL games i saw on satellite back, likely a lot.

    I miss the old days!

    I used to do that too with "Days of Our Lives" too. Since my mom's soaps were ABC, but i was really into "Days" in those days, i'd watch that feed early in the morning.

    I miss the old days!

    Newbie here... I remember watching Redskins games on T301 or T302. They were CBS, so that's where most of my games were. One week i kept moving the dish between the Redskins game and the Arizona/Denver game. The Broncos pulled out a close game at Mile High. Sometimes, if the game i wanted to...
