    Do you listen to AM Radio???

    When growing up I used to listen to CJSS 1220 AM as that is what my parents had on and FM wasn't that popular at that time. I don't think the old Emerson even had FM? I remember "Scott's On Parade" every Saturday morning while my Mother did the house cleaning. Later on, my older brother got me...

    CONTEST - Enter to Win: GEOSATpro DVR1100c w/15GB HDD, 90cm Dish - Complete System

    Pics of my motorized ku install

    Nice install! Good that you could stay low to the ground. Here, with large buildings and snow and ice, it's a bugger having a dish high up. Like stanleyjohn suggested, would you consider C-band? Seems like you have room and would add to your viewing pleasure. I myself am thinking of setting up...

    Spark Gap

    I have a few towers and dishes not grounded. Some say that ground attracts. Some say that ground rejects. All to do with lightining and such. Others say your system may have problems if not grounded? I would like to hear from all of you on your thoughts! Thought it may be an interesting...
