I have a good one for you guys. Last saturday night me and this girl i have been seeing went out for dinner at chilii's with her friend. We met and got seated.
During the course of conversation her friend says " I got digital cable now and love all the hbo and cinemax channels"...I say " how many do you get?" She says " there are 5 cinemax channels!!!!" wow. LOL
I preceded to tell her about my setup and 4dtv.
My girfriend's friend says " oh yeah...I remember those big dishes, we had one at my parents house and it was a Pain in the ...... because you had to turn this big knob on a box on top of the tv to make the dish move and it never moved to the right spot". "I thought those things didn't work anymore since they are analog".
I told her they were mainly 99% digital now. Modern dish positioner acutators
and controllers are probably much better now than back then not to mention it may not have been installed properly since that was a new technology back then and there are a lot of room for mistakes during installation.
She was quite amazed as my girlfriend told her how stunning the pic quality was on some of the channels.
I wanted to share that experience with some of you fellow guru's.
The lack of popularity coupled with cable and pizza dish have really worked to erase from the minds the legacy of the BUD.
