That name brings back memories. (So does yours Frank) I sure remember those great days of Analog C band, I remember how excited I was when I, yes I, installed a rather tall horizontal pipe in my front yard in late 1980, followed by putting together and then installing a 10 foot C band dish and then in early 1981, I finally boresited everything in, using a hand crank to change satellite positions. That was a dumb idea on how to save money. Needless to say I ordered an actuator arm soon thereafter. I sold that house and live in a condo when in Seattle. During the rainy season, I head for central Mexico where, of course I have a C band system. Sadly I can't use either DISH or DirecTV for my local Seattle stations in Mexico, and, of course, C band isn't the answer either. Well I could watch Cable News Northwest on channel 581 on my 4DTV on one of the birds.
Luckily Star Choice, one of the two Canadian small dish systems does have a strong signal in most of Mexico and it does carry among others the more popular Seattle stations. ----- Original Message ----- : Frank Kennedy [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
