The music from Pirates of the Caribbean is perfect.
kinda cool but were they just doing it for fun?
gees for all the work that they did, they should have found one in a junk pile some where..

It was cool to see them make a dish, and I guess they had a LNB around? I wonder what part of Mexico they were in. With those signal levels, it wouldn't take much to have rain fade. I would hate to see how quick the Ka band would go out on it.

I have an old 10 foot dish that i still use. Sometime when im bored i will see if i can get 99, 101, and 103 on it. If i can with good signals, great.
That's almost as good as the one i put up(of course i paid good peso's for it)

I wonder what signal strengths they get from the DirecTV dish they had on the roof?
