Yes, was nice. NBC used to have 3 feeds on Ku; East, Mountain and West. And a backup East feed on C-Band. If I happened to see a music act I wanted to record on The Tonight Show or Saturday Night Live, I could wait an hour and tape it on my S-VHS VCR. Excellent audio and video. I have vollumes of stuff like that I recorded direct from satellite for years until the networks scrambled and I had to replace my original Houston Tracker 8 receiver for a GI-Motorola 4DTV unit. The new receiver took the fun out of scanning the satellites as it blue-screens everything with no video which can't be disabled. The old receiver was much easier to use for searching random feeds.
