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

    My first FTA system was probably a little different than most since I started in 1991 in Germany with a motor powered 1 meter prime focus with two lnb's, one for vertical and one for horizontal. It served me well. The main selling point at the time was the ability to get the British FTA...

    Springtime for me will be mud time since the ground is just now thawing out and causing a mess. But it sure beats these ridiculously cold months of snow and ice.

    I remember that I had an infatuation with black leather motorcycle jackets and was constantly telling my parents that I wanted one for Christmas.

    Contest: What would you do... 4:2:2?

    Sign me up for 4:2:2 Okay, here is my entry.

    GEOSATpro Date acquisition by MICROHD

    I was recently on the road for a week and my MICROHD was disconnected from everything for seven days. When I hooked it back up, my first step was to set the date and time. I was shocked to see that the date was correct! How did that happen? GMT was set to OFF so where did it get the date?
