You know, with like all the different satellites that had like 30 channels each? My grandparents had one. MTV was always a "big thing" to watch at grandma's. It was on SatcomF4 or something. LOL @ how ridiculously big they were, and LOL @ trying to watch scrambled playboy channel. :lol: :lol: :lol:

Why did you need to go there to watch scrambled playboy when scrambled cinemax/hbo was available everywhere?

I know a guy who still has one of the old C-Band dishes. He can watch all of those regional ABC fb/basketball games.

Had one in the back yard. Got hit by lightning and died :(.

We got one of these in 1994. I remember coming home from school one day and discovering it without any previous heads up. After 14 years of nothing but three channels (and sometimes FOX when there was electrical storms), it was roughly the equivalent of finding a rocket ship in the back yard.
My parents still have that dinosaur back there. &@#%ing huge, NASA-looking piece of equipment now. The cats love to sleep in it.

G1 was where all the good stuff was (i.e. USA - Cartoon Express)

Had one of those frackers when I was really young. I remember my pops going out the crank it so we would get different channels. By the time we got the electric turner thingy all the fracking good stuff was scrambled. I watched the frack out of nickelodeon.

My grandparents got it to watch the NBA. Back in the "old days", you could get feeds w/o commercials, and you could listen to the announcers making crude comments when they were "off air".
:lol:
-
grand parents have one.

Also liked how it was 20 ft tall and 1 trazillion lbs but you had to have the channel perfectly in line to get it to come in good. How I have an antennae the size of a fracking quarter on my car that is able to beam a signal to my sat radio going 70 down the highway.

How the &@#% did that work? Did you just show them pictures or something? Not like you could drag one of the mofos around to demonstrate.

QFT. The old ESPN radio stream was great listening. Hilarious during the breaks.

Yeah, pics. Also sold the programming. Made $300 every time I sold one. Not too bad for early 90's.
