    Wow you were in the game in the late 80s?

    I bet the prices of things have come down abit since then.

    Welcome on board.

    Default Fun Times

    Thanks for the warm welcome guys.

    My first Ku-Band system was around 92-94 system a 4 piece solid (Tin) 1.8mt dish with a Cal-amp LNB and analog box, think it was called a Winesat??

    Fixed to the Aussat - A1 & used to move it to A2 satellite and back.

    The most disturbing feeds I saw was raw footage out of Rwanda in 94.

    quite a few feeds back then - the networks used to leave CNN on most of the time, TV shows, movies from Nine network feeds.

    Purchased the system from Videosat Paid around $1200.00

    C-Band was in the late 80's in New York, again network feeds - from a KTI mesh dish.

    Fun Times.
