[DMCForum] Continued: Cable Satellites (Andrei)

["content22207" <brobertson@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

99.9% of the cable companies are still looking at the C band
satellites. Why do you think they're still up there (and are regularly
replaced with new ones)? Certainly not for the handful of us home dish
users left. I used to get codes for my black board from a fellow who
worked at a cable company in Texas.

I can bolt a Ku LNB on my dish and look at the exact same birds you
are. Hicksville has nothing to do with it.
