Your Satellite Tv Hobby -When & how did it start?

[catseye]

For me it started back in 1990

A relation of mine had been installing Amstrad sat boxes (SRX200) & those lovely white dishes for a company called Star Trax (I think)

Customers had them fitted on a free trial so overnight they appeared everywhere

Then when the customers were advised that had to start paying -The company was inundated with requests to 'take it back'

I was given a box & dish & thought it was amazing I could watch tv channels from space

Remember at the time we only had 4 TV channels

I soon got inquisitive as to what else there was out there

When I began moving the dish slightly I was amazed to pick up the Super Channel
