I have 2 set-up and running. A 4dtv G.I. 920 (for subscription services) and a Toshiba TRX 2200 (for analog feeds).
I also have (but not set-up) a G.I. 920 and a G.I. 922 with dead batteries (which wipes out the virtual channels), but the analog still works. And, I have 4-5 older analog receivers of different makes.

On KU at least, there's hardly anything worth bothering with. Unless you just enjoy watching color bar test patterns. Or maybe somebody can point me to something I haven't seen yet.

3 active and 1 in storage. I have a Uniden 9000 for AMC 2, G10 and G11 horzontal, Uniden 2200 for whatever spillover and a HTS 70 for SBS 6 and c-band analog and videocypher. A spare Uniden 9000 sits unused in the cabinet next to TV 10. that holds TV's 7 and TV 8. :) I voted for 3 because those are the ones hooked up.

I currently have 8 active (I'm counting my 922 as both a analog and digital since I use both sides). There's 22 more in the basement for replacements, special projects, experiments and parts. I even have an old SCPC receiver down there, in case audio SCPC ever makes a comeback. I've actually used the 70 mhz output on that SCPC receiver with my cheapo kit spectrum analyzer to paint the satellites signal patterns. Heck of a good hobby!

I have a HTS System 8+ C/KU setup and running, and a GI something that I have never hooked up. I also have a Drake ESR-1524, but the picture rolls on it, and is almost unusable.

Bought a HTS 70 on EBay last week for $30 something dollars including shipping. My current one new cost me $1000 in 1991 or 92. If it works right, I'll probably add it to the in use mix. :)
