Ugh, I remember being into watching satellite feeds from as many sattelites as possible a couple of years ago. Got over it eventually, now I have one antenna w/ two LNBs, and around 2k+ channels (in reality, only some 600-700 are watchable, and I personally only ever check about a 100-150 of them).

I can't even watch television anymore now that all broadcasts in America are digital. I used to just use bunny-ears to pick up local stations.

I wonder if those 1,500 satellite television channels are all free of charge.

I don't watch television enough to care. If I really want to see something that broadcasts on local television stations, I'll just wait until the next day and watch it on Hulu or TV.com.

I assume they are, since he has 85 satellite antennas. If someone were to count Pay-per-view channels, you can get that many on two satellites alone.

Wait wait wait. Your saying that those 85 satellites only capture 1500 channels.

I've got I satellite dish, 3 LNBs (recievers) captures the total of three geo stationary satellites for a total of 3000 channels and yeh I still find more to watch online than on TV.:lolflag:

So he holds the record for the largest number of working satellites, right? Cause I know people with more than 6000 available channels.
