Dr. Taylor sent HBO a check for $100 because he felt it was not right watching a pay service for free. The refused his check. I wonder if those "Hackers" have an argument there?

We've had this video: Chaparral Single Universal Ku Band LNBF | International Ku Band Satellite Dish LNB LNBF by Chaparral on our website for a while now. (scroll all the way down and click on the black & white TV).

It's realy amazing. These guys are true satellite pioneers. There are many out there who pretend that they are, but this beyond a shaddow of a doubt shows that Bob Taggart & Jim Janky are the true pioneers in the satellite industry.

I'm proud to say I had a chance to meet Bob Taggart in 2006 at the Satellite Expo in Atlanta, GA. He stopped by the WS International booth and said hello.
