I remember being able to buy this equipment from Sears or Kmart I believe, we put our dish up in 1995 and used it till 2001 when I moved and got a better deal with cable. I resubscribed to DirecTV in 2008 when they started to have a better HD lineup than Comcast. I again got rid of DirecTV in 2016 after the prices went thru the roof... Good memories!
I remember these growing up. We bought the self install kit and my father put it up. We never had the ussb version though, ours was DirecTV. As a kid I thought it was the coolest thing.
“You’ve never seen movies like this”- considering I was watching laserdiscs then, which had all current movies in letterbox while movie channels showed everything in pan and scan, that statement is pretty true!
Unless you lived in the sticks and had no other option, or spoke Spanish and after those channels...nothing said I'm a gullible dunce like folks who had satellite. What a needless scar on building and awful bill. The folks who might argue this are also the types that respond to spam emails
