My old man got one of these.
I was the king of the neighborhood.
There was the Playboy Channel, and then there was the trashier version....the Spice Channel.

They knew. If the satellite was pointed straight up...they knew.

Wore the motor on the actuators out regularly, swinging a 3m dish from horizon to horizon.

I remember motorized rooftop TV antennas, with a controller that was typically on top of a big console TV.

The price of a backyard satellite dish advertised in a 1979 Neiman Marcus catalog was $36,000 —the first such dish sold commercially.
Soon, the prices went down significantly, especially after the Federal Communications Commission deregulated the usage of such dishes, which used the open-air C-Band range of wireless signals, so they could be used by more than cable companies.
A 1981 New York Times article noted that dishes could be had for as low as $3,000; a 1985 piece cut that price down to $1,500.

I think we paid about $1200 for ours back in 87 or 88. I had to put a fence around it to keep the cows from using it as a scratching post.

People talking about Spice and Playboy channels. This was much more than the tits.

My parents still have theirs even though it hasn’t been used in decades.
I remember satellite T4 was where all the porn was at.
