[QUOTE="2cvbloke, post: 904906, member: 199791"] For me it was wanting to put an old white Amstrad dish with a Blue-cap LNB back into use, never did though cos the dish eventually got torn off the wall and destroyed, it did work for a short while when it was still on the wall, but I guess the LNB couldn't take being used again and failed, I ended up getting $ky for about a year, having an indoor dish aimed out the attic window which was about as reliable as a politician's promises, but I had more fun with finding analogue stuff with my first Pace MSS-300 than I did with digital stuff, when I moved house I started looking at Hispasat (cos that's about all I could get with the way the house faced and had no garden to place a dish outdoors in), but after that things just got a bit dull when the analogue channels were switching off to be replaced with digital, and never really got back into scanning the skies, though I did replace the minidish on the previous house with a 60cm version (though I retained it when we vacated the house), but that was mostly cos of the requirement to reliably pick up BBC Scotland for new year... :) These days I just hang around here cos I'm just like that... :D [/QUOTE]
