Went to the Uplink Center Today.

Wow thanks for those pictures!

I saw a propane grill in one of those pictures. Nothing like grilling up some burgers and dogs while enjoying the views. That huge simulsat is awesome! I've seen a few simulsats in my day, but never one that large!

I also saw some good quality DH dishes. Our local cable company has quite a few of those (9 or 10 maybe).

I saw some ductwork on a lot of the larger dishes. Is that a snowy area in the winter? Are those HVAC units on the dishes to keep snow from accumulating on them?

Maybe they can us this as the new PR uplink center

I printed out the picture of that Torus dish and showed it to my neighbor and told them that I was thinking about getting one installed on our roof! HA! I think they actually believed me for awhile!

You can get a 36" version of that.
 
It was amazing to be able to stand in the middle of that Big Torus dish and take pics. All of the programming DISH gets via satellite is received via that dish.

If I was a little taller (instead of wider) I could have stood these and knocked out HBO, Comedy Central and ESPN. :D

Did you feel a little warm? :D Lots of microwave energy on that array.
