Hi all
I'm really enjoying all the info in these forums.
As an old fart, I probably appreciate this technology more than most. Our first TV was a 9 inch black&white, with rabbit ears/ghosts/5 stations. Remote control? Fuggettaboudit & get off yer butt. I remember we were the first on our block to get an RCA 21" color console -- round tube and all. It used 20 or so tubes, you could heat half the house with it. Green/purple faces -- it was still mesmerizing. Disney and Bonanza were about all there was in color.
As I sit in front of my 52" DLP with 5.1 sound, with a 622 remote in hand and cellphone in pocket, I wonder if as a teenager someone had told me where all this was going if I would have been able to believe it! You just have to love it...............

NHL Centre ice on dish showing both home and away feeds of each game.
now i learn that they'll have RSN in HD

MTN Network available on big dishes?
I'm new to this site, joined a week or so ago.
What I have:
-- 7 1/2 foot wire mesh laser c band dual polarity lnb with a venture motor
-- 7 1/2 foot wire mesh Echostar Chapparral CALAMP lnbf with von weise motor
Both of these were taken down in pieces and the pieces are in my garage. Also have a Echostar 510 videocipher RS receiver (no remote). My guess is that these are so outdated that now much will be available with them. Also have 2 dish 500 and a dish single lnb 18" along with a dish pvr and dish 301.
We are currently on Directv.
I'm looking for someone that loves this stuff to help me do a site survey in my yard and see if I can get clear signals due to various obstructions (neighbors house and trees). Also need to know if anything I have will work or if all needs to be updated.
Lots of questions but will try and keep it to a minimum till I have read and studied more on the forums.
Here is one question to start with. We do not receive the MTN (Mountain West Television Network). Most of the University of Utah football and basketball games are on that network. How do I find out what satellite the cable companies pick up the signal from, and how do I know if I can subscribe to that?
Mainly interested in Candian TV, and will post other things in the Candian TV forum.
Thanks!
