You used to be able to break in and see what was happening on the sets of live shows during commercials with one of these things. I always kind of wanted one, but dunno how useable it would be today. I hope the guy in that thread tells me what he's up to. And I hope he's not just turning it into a gazebo.
You will

Hmmm.... you could use even a little DirecTV one to amplify a roof antenna and get those Columbus TV stations.

Interesting. But yeah... more work than I'm willing to do for those channels.
You love this signature.

The last major use I had for these monstrosities was picking up the west coast feed of the Golden State Warriors games. Only by satellite could I have had the chance to watch my favorite basketball team lose all the time to other teams. Occasionally we would use it to watch Pay-Per-View wrestling events, but that was rare by the mid-90's. .-end quote I bet that would've come in handy these these past few weeks. You sure you don't want to dig yours out of the garage and use it today? The women of New Vegas ask me a lot if there's a Mrs. New Vegas. Well, of course there is! You're her. And you're still just as perfect as the day we met.

i have one of those in my back yard but we haven't used it since 93 or 94 we used to get midget wrestling on ours and some times fox would tune out and you would get some adult movies late at night you never knew what you were going to get with ours different things would tune in and out at different times.

My uncle had a massive satellite dish with one of those "special" chips inside it that unlocked everything. As a kid I got a chance to watch a ton of WWF events, and had my first exposure to adult entertainment by going into that set of channel I was banned from watching.
After I saw Stay Tuned, I would stand near the satellite dish hoping it would suck me into the TV. I know it wasn't as fun as it would seem in the movie, but I was hellbent on becoming an animated mouse like in the movie. |

I was wondering could you use it to transmit fm signal to remote controlled drones and such
