Congratulations to all members mods and fellow Admin, 10 years is quite an accolade in terms of web presence however I am confident that we will only get better over the next 10 years. It is all really down to the hard work of the long term founder members such as Chris and Rolfw who have laid the foundation stones of this wonderful on-line facility.

My System: Sky+ Pace v3, and before that analouge 80cm dish with Prima by Pace box pointed at 19.2e (not very imaginative then!) | Yes, well done to all those who have contributed to the legend that is Satellites.co.uk. Every day I'm on this board, and that is because of the friendly, social atmosphere which as been propagated and maintained by those both at the beginning and those that have joined along the path. I am in no doubt that the path will continue, and that new followers will join our merry parade. (This is starting to sound a touch communist)
