Is there anything else on fta tv like EBRU? Although I don't have a fta system up yet, I've looked at some of the programs and thought EBRU looked interesting. Just curious.

Interesting photo Elchucko. Kinda sort of how I thought it might look. Thanks

Interesting stuff Cham.... What is ISS?

Oh, I like that last line about not being able to swing the dish fast enough! LOL! Maybe aiming straight up is for the "mother ship." LOL! Thanks.

Yea, Alaska with Indonesia, ooh that's hillarious! LOL! But you just might be right!

Glover, Raoul5788, Richyrich, Toucan-man, Primestar31, My sincere thanks for all your feed back and an apology for getting back so late... After much consideration however, I've decided to "pay the man" and get a basic subscription to DISH. The winter here has been frigid and not conducive...

What in your estimation would be the smallest functional C band dish and what approximately do you think the weight of that animal might be? Just thinking ahead...... If I did find one that someone might want to let go for a reasonable price, I'd probably need to man handle it myself. So, I...

I've seen a few in my area and would love to find out if they're still in use.
