Well...  It's SUPPOSED to be topics relating to BUDs (what that is an acronym 
for I have no idea), or the signals received and equipment used with 'Large 
Format (ie C-Band) Satellite Dishes' and the associated uplink programming.
It would seem that the envelope on that topic is being pushed to near the 
limit, but alas...  I geuss it's better than having a 'dead' echo :)
I found some really good tips here when I was planning the dish install here. 
So there ARE a lot of knowledgable readers out here.  I've since gotten the 
install done and I'm having a BUNCH of fun watching some of the stuff that 
goes on during the live feeds  (I've never seen so many guys messin 
with their hair as I do with these field reporters...:)  And there have been 
sevral really interesting feeds of technical nature (ie military equipment 
testing and maneuvers 
Do you have a BigDish system at your house ?
Oh Yes...  I'm using a Winegard QuadStar 10' Mesh dish, and a Chaparral 
Sierra III...  Currently looking for a good remote for controlling that and 
my Sanyo 27" TV.  I have the audio output from the receiver fed into an old 
Fisher Stereo Receiver, and the sound is terrific!  I never knew stereo TV 
could be so realistic (no connection with radio shack ;)  My location is in 
the mountains, so with hills to the south I only have access to the top 
section of the arc, but I can get pretty much everthing from F1 to G3 (and 
maybe G7 when I get a couple trees felled).
