[QUOTE="Costactc, post: 904880, member: 388582"] Having previously lived in Greece for a couple of years and hardly any ota channels I figured that satellite was the way to go. I moved to Greece in 1995 for five years and I had bought a 76 cm dish to take. Initially, in 1996, I set it up for Hotbird for Eurosport and CNN. In 1998, I had my first motorised dish installed, 1.4m with an 18" actuator- scanned from about 80E to 43w(Fox was unencrypted at the time so I could get my American football fix). Once I moved back to Canada, I just dabbled in the card share for NA providers until 2006 when I had a 1.2m motorised ku dish installed. That dish was removed shortly thereafter and I installed a 6' commercial PF solid to take its place. I got the itch to test the c band realm and I installed a 3m mesh bud. After moving from Quebec to Ontario, where I have resided ever since- I reinstalled the 6' PF solid and a 3m channel master mesh. Finally, I swapped the 6' solid for an 8' PF solid and I installed a 1.2m motorised dish for ku. In all this time I have tested at least 40 receivers with my favourite being the Pansat sd models and recently the Technomate receivers. I would consider myself a feedhunter who has no interest at all in linux receivers and always looking for a receiver with a fast blind scan and an extremely sensitive tuner. [/QUOTE]
