My System: Pace Sky HD, DM7000s, CubeRevo 3000HDPVR, Transparent 80cm Dish, Moteck SG2100 DiseqC motor, lots of legacy gear. Meters: Satlook Digital NIT, Televes H45 Digital Spectrum analyser.
Here's mine

A little messy, but does the job.

Has changed a little since this was taken, have changed the second PC for an up to date model and swapped out the Dreambox 7000s for a Cuberevo 3000HD. Going to re-vamp it next week and put in some cable management, so will take a new photo then.

Needs tidying up when Ive got a few minutes but in shot are

14" portable (used for testing and aligning dishes in the garden)
28" main telly
Echostar IP3000VA (digital & analogue)
Pace Sky+ box
My beloved DB 7020
VHS video player
Amstrad Sky Italia box (not wired up atm)
Slingbox
music centre
DVD player / home theatre system
2 x videosenders

In various cupboards theres all sorts of useful stuff stashed away

My other half doesnt care in the slightest about all this electronic junk cluttering up a corner of the living room - in fact during the televised rocket launches I stick it on the small portable so she can keep an eye on whats happening!
