This is my aerial antenna that I use to pickup the local networks.
Dish @ 119 degrees.jpg (102886 bytes) This is a Dish Network standard 18" Dish.  I use this to pull in the 2 to 3 channels that Dish Network does not encrypt.
satdish1.jpg (277004 bytes) satdish back.jpg (332981 bytes) The dishes I use are older DirecPC Dishes.  They come with a good LNB (.6) and can be easily used for FTA purposes.
I currently have this dish pointed at G10R
Since these pictures were taken I have found another one (Brand New) and will be putting it up shortly.
Satworks 3618 FTA Receiver
This is an older receiver that I picked up used for $60 (shipped). Has blind scan and a bunch of other features. 
Twinhan 1025 DVB PCI Card
This was purchased so I could view HD content. This card also will also allow a computer to pause live programming (as well as record from the source)
Purchased from Ebay for $43 Shipped
