Exclamation Bye Bye Analog!!

VC2 News:
All remaining analog VC2 channels will be going digital at the end of the year. So you can throw your VC2 boards away in two months. Oh well it was fun while it lasted!! The good old days....

I got my big dish in 1983.

When scrambling started, everybody told me it would only be good for a giant birdbath.
25 years of tv...they were wrong.

I got my BUD in 92 along with a DX 200 Videocipher.The DX 200 has been a great videocipher to have.I guess it will only be useful to reposition the dish for true FTA in 2009.I have a feeling this will be the way to go very SoooooN!
