Even though I am set up well with a Birdview solid, if a neighbor of mine said he was going to scrap a 12 foot Paraclipse, I would probably go and try to save it from the scrapyard.
You just know there would be people here who would need it.
Apparently the excuse was that C-band isn't much up there anymore. Without trying too hard, I am getting four dozen channels with about a dozen of those in high definition. While maybe not the c-band golden days of yore, there is still plenty of stuff up there.
