[QUOTE="Old Satellite, post: 75008, member: 175277"] One of te greatest challenges was to recieve discovery on a 1.8 without threshold extension devices and sparklies then it was 1988. Still great however today is that with analogue signals and good threashold extension you can still recieve in the uk,the Nasa Tv channel direct from the US beam on AM6 72.0 West very Low on the Horizon for majority of the UK and still needs a 3.5 mtr but good fun and challenge. The good old Sky Videocrypt, the old blue LNB 1.8 db if you were lucky and a life time of replacements, in the garage. Echostar 4500, Open up the receiver and adust the threashold till the picture starts to break up to catch that very very weak signal. and its solid construction, My own 4500 is from 1988 and is still working perfect including the remote. Pace reciever Power supply failures and thier repairs. Uniden recievers - what can I say Polorotors freezing in cold weather, - hair drier to thaw out and fix Great lot of fun and tears at the same time that is analogue- ps check out C band Analogue still a lot of fun Regards Old Satellite [/QUOTE]
