I can't believe that you can remember that!
I do remember my first go at it was with a Uniden Supra that took me forever to buy because I couldn't decide on what receiver to buy. The dish was a 10' mesh (still in use) with an old Norsat 30K temp 66db gain LNB. No.........I don't still use the LNB!

after going for about 2 years with 1 fuzzy nbc channel it's kind of easy to remember your first clear channel.

My first FTA channel was NTA International on 97°W. When I saw the pictures......to say I was ecstatic is understatement.
