Hi all. I've been working on many different kinds of dishes as both a hobby since I was in my late teens. Prior to that it was FM and any other way to get my entertainment from my partents house in the middle of nowhere. When I was growing up we had but one channel available to us over the air and that was the good ole' CBC (Canadian Broadcasting Corp.) Now in my early thirties I still get the same thrill from pulling in a station that I didn't know was available to me as I did then! Having said that, I think I get more enjoyment from looking for new stuff than I do watching it, I really don't watch a lot of tv.
I subscribe to express-vu(HD as well) here in Canada, formerly a * Choice customer. I've also had many different formations of C-Band dishes over the years and still keep one smaller dish, (although it hasn't been set up since I moved last summer and have lots of trees to contend with) and I'm contemplating getting into FTA with C and Ku band options on my C-band dish or possibly even 4DTV eventually.
I'm fairly knowlegable in home theatre, C-band, Express-Vu (which is very similar to Echo *) and Star Choice. I look forward to answering questions on these formats and also to learning more about FTA as I go.
Looks like a great forum, I'm looking forward to digging in.
Cheers
Inno
