(Satellite related!)

 

[Dishman Dan]

I have been really good!!!

I am hoping that the Mrs. Claus will finally let me get a HD receiver like the Sathawk (Or

equivilent) or possibly a AZBox!

 

[Tron]

Maybe an Openbox and/or the DVBWorld 2104D USB S2 tuner...

 

[Pixl]

A nice present from the networks would be to shut off the scrambling for a few days over the holidays!

crackt out,.

 

[Mr Tony]

a new house with a huge back yard (and great line of site)

 

[PopcornNMore]

A larger size HDTV to be able to watch all the great programming my new Openbox S9 receiver provides.

 

[TRG]

A 1.2 meter kU dish for 125W and a second sathawk for the bedroom would be nice.

My birthday was not long ago, and I kinda shot my funds for that, but got some things I had been looking for a long time.

Anole recommended the Roswell TV series to me for something to watch, and since then I have become a fan of the series that was shown OTA from 99 - 02, and what was originally broadcast had different music than what the DVD's have. So, I had been looking for several months for someone who had recorded it on VHS from the original shows, and finally found one. I just got the tapes the other day, and I am sure the quality stinks, but I will be able to watch it as it was originally broadcast with the original music, and hopefully to convert it to digital for safe-keeping.

I bought the DVDs, and they are great, but just wanted to see the originals

To do that I bought a used JVC HR-S5901U VHS unit with S-Video output to dump into my DVD recorder.

I also got a Hauppauge WinTV-HVR-1800 to setup a Win 7 MCE for my TV room to watch OTA and internet TV and run it all with a remote control.

So my Christmas might be a little slim. Just have to wait and see what Santa might bring.

I agree with Ice, I need a larger house anyway....less trees so I can get below 83w all year round....equipment wise I'm set in that department for a while....Blind

PS:

I just tried the first tape of my Roswell series today and the guy recorded 10 episodes on a single tape. Needless to say, the quality is pretty bad.

If any of you have this series recorded and tucked away somewhere in a box, PM me, and maybe I could borrow them and return them to you.

A Motorola/GI DSR-410 receiver with a valid unit ID. The ones on eBay keep getting too expensive for me right now. ...Santa? ...Anyone?

 

[TimLones111]

Id like one of those Openbox S9 Receivers I keep hearing about..Or at the very least a C-Band LNB that I can switch out the Ku I have now..I figure even with a 3-foot dish in Ohio I might have a fighting chance with G16 at 99W..

 

[beavs2112]

a chaparral bullseye and 4 norsat lnbs

Try extreme south west Minnesota. Prices are real cheap.

Try extreme south west Minnesota. Prices are real cheap.

But that's because you are basically in South Dakota then.

It's a wonderful wife!!!

My wife, who has been preaching "NO NEW ELECTRONICS FOR CHRISTMAS" is having a change of heart!
She wants a LCD TV for the bathroom off of our master bedroom!
All I need is a fridge in there too and I can sell the rest of the house!
Black Friday or Cyber Monday here we come!!! :up
