Report from the Show Floor!

[Scott Greczkowski]

Well just a few moments ago the doors of the Georgia Convention Center opened up and the show floor is now officially open!

The morning started with a great breakfast for all in attendance sponsored by DMS International. The Lee from the SBE show intruduced us to Ron Bruce who pumped the dealers in attendance about what they were about to see on the show floor. His speech seemed to do the job and got an amazing amount of appplause.

I got inside and was able to snap some pictures before the show opened and saw some neat stuff. I will be working all day today to bring you photos from our 2007 SatelliteGuys Photo Studio which is directly on the show floor.

Here are some goodies to get you started.

I was just going to ask Scott to grab that switch for me

 

[Claude Greiner]

Looks great Scott!

Hey look at the difference between last year and this year...

Last year...

This year....

LOL... I was thinking the same thing.

Those LNBs and the switch mount on the new parabolic 100º dish, and will see all satellites from 61.5º to 157º simultaneously.

 

[Davage]

Hey Scott. Are you taking requests? Can we get some photos from Bob Cooper's C-Band Old-timer's booth please?

I'd want one of those just to piss off my neighbors. We don't live in an HOA, but our new neighbors have just started a war with us over us parking in front of OUR house. I want to get them back somehow.

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

Will do, I just had an hour meeting with Coop about tommorow show.

Actually had some VERY interesting meetings today.

Sorry, Ice, and after I promised to not sign you up for more stuff to play with.

how about some history on Cooper, I remember when he was down in the Caribbean, hiding out on Turks & Caicos Island, how is it, that he's back in the USA

Coop lives in New Zealand now. He has his own Website where he sells some of his books. I very recently read his book "Television's Pirates", it was all about the cable companies being some of the first "Pirates", and the history of the satellite industry. I found it to be really interesting reading, probably because I have had a satellite dish of some sort since 1987. (Has it been 20 years already... Wow).

I'm sad that I wasn't able to go to Atlanta, but I'm looking forward to meeting Coop in May when he is at the Ham Radio Festival in Dayton Ohio.

 

[Frank Jr.]

Scott, where are the girly pictures? .......Just kidding. I'm looking forward to watching tonight. Do you have your acceptance speech ready? Any butterflies yet? I'm sure you will be great.:up

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

Davage, Coop and I were watching some of your DVD's yesterday.

Good stuff. Unfortunately no "Yellow Rain" in sight for tonights show.

Scott, I'm glad to hear that there was some good use of those Boresight shows that I kept stored away for almost 20 years. I'm really hoping that Coop has a few minutes to spend with me in May when I see him in Dayton Ohio.

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

I am sure he will. He loves to talk.

I couldn't find any of my old tapes...

Is Coolsat there, and did they bring their new 8100?
It's now claimed on their web site to be an HD PVR.


kudos to SatinKzo for reporting it in our FTA forum.
