I just wanted to say thank you to Satellite Guys.
I was re-called to active duty and am currently in Iraq. I read on Satellite Guys about the possibility of losing the distant networks this summer. I had a Dish 300 system I installed in 1998 with NY and LA locals and was able to hook up a 500 system before I was deployed. Since the shut off is going to happen, I'm glad I don't have to worry about my family back home being upset because of the advanced warning I had!
As a side note, I'm sure many of you would get a kick out of the satellite systems the locals have here in Iraq. You see mud huts with "dish farms" on the roof. Everything here is satellite, as a matter of fact I'm using satellite internet right now. Being here has got me more interested in FTA satellite systems. I might look into them when I get home.
Again thanks for the great site and I like the new look too!
