[QUOTE="s1mply, post: 3086, member: 175023"] Me too .... I've had satellite since November 1988, probably one of the first "ordinary persons" in the UK. I paid £2000 for my system, an enormous sum of money then. My decoder box was £350 and extra circuit boards were around £100, I live very close to where the hackers worked from, and used to go their workshop (very interesting) these were the days of "wobbly" encryption or I think it was called sine wave, FilmNet was the big draw, then Red Hot Dutch, followed later by TV1000 (although I think that was the early days of Mac), the place was called Hi Tech, situated in Camberley Surrey. Happy times only two satellites up there for reception Eutelsat at; I think 16 East and Intelsat at 27 West. East was FilmNet and West was Premier, chug, chug, chug, between the satellites to see what was on, Oh yes... don't forget Super Channel, and later Sky Channel, broadcast by two women from an office in London!!!!! How times change? [/QUOTE]
