Interesting Reading

I got my new edition of "VIA SATELLITE" magazine in the mail today and saw a neat ad that I had to check out more.

For some interesting reading check out Echostar Fixed Satellite - Home

It kind of shows you how it all works, from the POP's where the uplink centers are etc.

Hmm wonder how much it would cost us to do a live SatelliteGuys chat.

Looks to be over a year old as construction on one of the battery backup shacks is still being done.

If you see that big toradial dish in the back, that is where most of the programming received via satellite by Dish Network is picked up from. I wish I got some pictures of it as it had a hodgepodge of different consumer C/KU LNB's on it.

Based on the size of those dishes, last weeks' rain fade should NOT have been an issue. Maybe they're misaligned?

That's it, they better call tech support and get someone out to reallign those babies.
