I only have the one, but I bet if I hack it up I could get at least 7 or 8 out of it.

I saw that pic awhile back, showed my wife and said there I was when I get old :)
Be careful, I hear that dishes and better halves don't often go well together :)

As for my farm, there are only two dishes currently set up:

- 1 meter Channel Master fixed on G-10R
- 36" dish with Invacom QPH LNBF on SG-2100 motor for everything else

These are both mounted on non-penetrating roof mounts on my flat-roof shed addition in back of the house. Also up there (but not yet mounted) is a T-90 Toroidal, which I hope to use to get fixed signals from several sats without having to motor to them. Gotta get another non-pen mount and get working on that. With a 9 x 5.5' flat roof, though, I'm running out of room after the toroidal.

I love the way people count dishes in their house or garage in their totals :D

OP really should have specified working, functional, installed dishes.

Reading about all pride everyone is showing about their setups maybe the site should have a Dish picture of the month or something.
Me I just have a BEV 18in for subscription and a 1M motorized, got a 33in in the shed i"m going to mount somewhere.

I was taught at an early age, "You have Good Intentions". Well my intentions have always been good. I was also taught that I'll get Judged by my intentions. I intend to have all my dishes operational, some day.
Please don't be too harsh when you Judge me?

Even with all of those dishes I bet it's still hard to find something good on TV.

Last night I read off the program schedule to my wife, and she said "wow, for the first time in how long, I can't decide what to watch! Too many choices!". :)

I agree IAFire…That’s why I cancelled Dish a while back. Nothing on there. I keep my Starchoice for TSN & CBC (Hockey) but that is at a basic package.

There ALWAYS seems to be something on…and if not, I flip on the audio channels


Jim…you have the ultimate combo
-C/KU Band
-4DTV
-DVB 4:2:0
-DVB 4:2:2
