Let's give it a try... Here's a link to my K-Sat, C-Sat and other satellite radio shows from years ago. https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1sXqrXQERGYKU-xxMS7_ljSCJJJ88coeS?usp=sharing

Hi bobvick. After I get all of the MP3's uploaded to google drive, I'll investigate if I can somehow get a link I can publicly share here. I've done private shares in the past years ago, but haven't investigated the in's and out's of making a public link.

GeneralsSon - I've sent you a private message, I have many hours of K-Sat in mp3 format I can share with you.

Hello dmosley. I have some parts of that Rise and Fall of FM America in mp3 format that I can share with you. (I actually found another cassette copy of it just a couple days back). I am actually in the process of uploading my entire K-Sat MP3 collection to google drive for GeneralsSon...

It's been ages since I've tried it, but I believe that one time that I had a PVR hard drive fail, I was able to open up the receiver and simply unplug the cables from the hard drive, and it then functioned like a regular receiver. That's going back many years..

Whew... Boy, things sure can get heated in here at times. A few years back, I had the opportunity to sit down and talk with Bob Cooper (Coop) - the father of TVRO. We discussed the late 80's and early 90's timeframe of the satellite industry. Something that Coop said still is true to...

I think that you WOULD run into trouble rebroadcasting signals received from satellite, unless you have express written permission to rebroadcast them. Satellites are used to get a signal from point A to point B, and are private communications. It is up to the broadcaster as to whether they...

Thank you for the answer.. That explains why their HD looks like crap. I guess I'll have to look at seeing what I can do to boost my over-the-air reception of digital channels. I also have a Manhattan HDTV Free-To-Air receiver that I can use to watch some of the network feeds..

2 weeks ago I attended a fall fair. Lots of vendors were at the fair selling their wares, and one of the vendors was selling Bell HD TV... I looked at the demo that they had (an HD DVR, playing a pre-recorded show). The "HD" video was less than impressive.. I have an over-the-air...

My offer included shipping... My theory is that if someone doesn't have the money to buy a receiver, they may not have the money for shipping. My intentions were to give the receiver to a home where the person could not normally afford a receiver. A fellow SatelliteGuy is going to be...

I hooked it up for the first time tonight in likely a year and scanned a few birds.. You're right, it is a great receiver! I have a Manhattan MPEG2/MPEG4 receiver now, so I know that this Visionsat would sit on the shelf for many more years if I didn't give it away or sell it. Knowing...

Receiver is spoken for and is going to a good home. I took the very first reply that had a good home for the receiver - I wasn't going to make it into any sort of competition. One of the SatelliteGuys here is going to set up an FTA system for someone who is not able to afford a receiver...

It's been a while since I've seen a Random Act Of Kindness posted here, so I'm going to do one. I have a Visionsat PVR receiver that I am going to give away. Here are the specifics.. I realize that many people these days are suffering from bad economic times. I would like to give away...

Congrats to chadg2 on the win. Thanks SatelliteAV for giving out the free stuff! I realize that the contest is closed, but I figured that I'd post a story anyways. Back in the early 80's while going to public school, a bunch of my friends and myself use to bug the janitor about his smoking...
