I'm hoping someone else well. I already have 3 BUDs and unfortunately I'm waaaay to busy to make the 5 hour round trip drive.

It is a PBS station. No more uplinking? Moving to fiber? Interesting.

Hmmm. I just dropped off my wife at the airport to visit her dad in Seattle.

Last time she went on a long trip I installed the Unimesh 10'. (She wasn't happy when she got back).
Imagine her surprise if I had that 50 footer. We have plenty of space in our back yard. It might work, no?

My wife wanted me to get them. I had to explain the enormous expense involved in moving the "free" dishes.

With the future demise of PBS on satellite, it may pay to closely watch your local PBS station and keep an eye out for free stuff. Maybe a dish of more manageable size like a 20 footer perhaps. LOL.

Thanks, Fred. This depresses me a bit. The PBS feeds on 125W are my some of my favorite channels. I guess I'll enjoy it while I can. If there is one thing I've learned about FTA is that things come and go frequently. I still remember how upset when all the goodies went away on 123W.
