Wow haven't heard anyone mention one of these in years, I totally forgot about them. Anyone remember the funky Sony dish that had the LNB with the aiming LED built into it?

 

[Jimbo]

I think I still have a few RCA 222 s floating around .... probably in the closet where I don't see stuff much ... also probably have at least a H10 if I look hard enough.

Yup, that was my first system. I bought it from an online auction site (pre-ebay).
