Hi everyone my first post i don't have satellite tv any more but i grew up with satellite tv from the late 80's and in to the 90's so that gave me the idea to trawl the web to make a classic satellite website full of ident clips and info about bsb,astra,sky tv programmes so the address is _www.freewebs.com/satgold
you'll find that it is a great find.

I have modified the addy so that it is not a live link to another site.

Actually the best time in the sat scene was pre-Astra 19.2.

Everything went downhill in this hobby after the first Astra was in operation, it was the milestone between two periods.

Now people could buy small dishes and cheap equipment started to flow the market, remember Amstrad and their shitty mesh dishes?

1 Shitty 60cm Amstrad dish and a Fergusson receiver
