i was wondering if anybody knows any store or stores that still carry orbit magazine. i used to see the mag at a few stores but cant find it anymore. i guess i can subscribe to the mag if no one carries it anymore. i have only seen one satellite mag out of all the places i have been, i think it was named sky link or something like that. it was just an advertising mag like the one skyvision has,except a bit thicker. it would be kinda cool to come up with a mag for spotted feeds or a dishhead monthly or something. i also am looking for some good satellite books, i have only found one satellite book and it is back from 94 and has a list of channels and talks about direct tv and how people will not like the little dish much and it will be a loss of money.. boy were they wrong as 13 yrs later every house around has a dish net or direct tv on its properity. hell even alot of us big dishers have a pizza pan dish.

I don't know if anybody has it or not? I don't usually go to the Magazine rack in any store. But, here is a link that might interest you:

My favorite back in the "Good ole days" was Satellite TV Week, a weekly guide that was much more upto date than the montly guides especially on wildfeeds...
Joe I was just thinking the same thing. I use to see Orbit magazine regularly on the rack, but havent seen it for a few months now. Maybe they've decided to go "subsciption only". 
yeah i used to read them when i was a kid when we got them. back then i remember seeing them everywhere,even gas stations. of course back then i didnt go to the wild feeds list if they had one in 89. i always checked movie channels and nickelodeon,at 8 years old wild feed surfing is not a fun thing with friends over. yeah back then my friends were in awe of my dish and all the channels.
I would have to agree with you dfergie. I hated it when OnSat bought out Satellite TV Week. In my opinion, Satellite TV Week was the best!
I remember years ago, I had a subscription to Orbit Magazine, and I ordered a subscription for Orbit International Magazine, which was advertised in Orbit Magazine. Boy was I surprised when I started getting 2 Orbit Magazines in the mail each month. I wanted one for Orbit International Magazine. It took me about a month to finally get a hold on someone over the phone, to straighten it out. They told me I couldn't have the International version, because it would be of no use or interest to me. I argued for 20-30 minutes while paying for long distant charges and getting no where. Finally they said they would put the new order on to the end of my current subscription. I told them not to bother, as I would never renew with them for not allowing me to make my own judgement, as to whether Orbit International Magazine, would be useful or interesting to/for me. So for 9 months I got 2 Orbit Magazines and then only 1 for 3 more months. Haven't had one since. Being monthly, it was usually way off with the programming, by the end of the month anyway.

I have been subscribing to Orbit for years. I thought it was the beginning of the end for them when the starting adding the Dish Network listings. Last year was the last time I saw one on a store shelf. Around that time I was renewing through a discount magazine service and was informed that they stopped outside orders.
A few months ago the satellite articles disappeared. A small notice inside the cover said it was to keep costs down. Lately generic entertainment news and paid advertising type articles returned.
