That was an excellent episode, very interesting. I never realized how many satellites are up there in orbit. The DirecTV uplink facility was pretty impressive.

Saw it.........very cool. I think I'm gonna start watching it on a regular basis.

Did you catch that toroidal reflector at Directv? Must have been 30 feet wide and 30 lnbs mounted on the bar.

Pity the interviewer did not consider the option of leasing a channel or two.

I want to say that Popular Science mag had something in the 70's on this. Anyone remember this article?

Thanks
