Dish Man Has 5,000 TV Channels, and Counting

Al Jessup of Beckley, W. Va., has installed 12 satellite dishes around his home, giving him access to at least 5,000 TV channels. He tells Scott Simon he plans to add a 13th.

SCOTT SIMON, host:

The latest Nielsen numbers show that Americans spend a record amount of time channel-surfing, four hours and 32 minutes per person each day. My gosh, that's longer than "All Things Considered." Most American homes now have more than 100 channels available so it can be difficult to tell the difference between all but a few. This week The Register-Herald newspaper in Beckley, West Virginia, reports that Al Jessup has installed 12 satellite dishes around his home. This means he has more than 5,000 television channels at his fingertips.

Al Jessup joins us from his home, and thanks for taking time away from the tube for us.

Mr. AL JESSUP: Sure like talking to you.

SIMON: So what do you watch all day? Give us some idea.

Mr. JESSUP: It's the weather first, then I'll flip it to "Daily Buzz," which is on WB, watch a little bit of ABC, a little bit of PBS, a little bit of ABC, and at 10:00 "The Beverly Hillbillies" comes on. News around the world--Canada, Jordan, Iraq, Iran.

SIMON: From overseas.

Mr. JESSUP: I like to watch Jordan news because it tells better news than what they tell in this country.

SIMON: May I ask, what do you do for a living, sir?

Mr. JESSUP: For 25 years I was an ice cream man. I pushed an ice cream cart around Beckley.

SIMON: And so now you're retired?

Mr. JESSUP: Yes.

SIMON: Oh, so you have some time on your hands.

Mr. JESSUP: Right.

SIMON: How many television sets do you own?

Mr. JESSUP: Just three.

SIMON: Forgive this indelicate question, but do you have to pay a lot of money to these satellite services?

Mr. JESSUP: About 78 a month and the free-to-air stuff is free.

SIMON: You know, there are a lot of Americans who will concentrate their television viewing around one special night of the week. Do you have a special night of the week that you just...

Mr. JESSUP: Saturday.

SIMON: Saturday. What do you watch on Saturday?

Mr. JESSUP: I watch RFD-TV.

SIMON: RFD-TV.

Mr. JESSUP: They're--yeah. They have music, country music, blue grass.

SIMON: Boy, now do I hear this correctly? You want to get a 13th satellite dish?

Mr. JESSUP: Oh, yes.

SIMON: And what would that enable you to watch and listen to?

Mr. JESSUP: I think I'm going to point it toward the East, because there's a bunch of East satellites out there running around.

SIMON: Al Jessup of Beckley, West Virginia, has got 12 satellite dishes, one more on the way, and has more than 5,000 channels available to him.

Thank you, Mr. Jessup.

Mr. JESSUP: You're welcome.

There was an ASAS patient who wanted to modify a 1.8 P.F. Well here is proof that it's doable. Also follow this link to get more.

BB* on Measat here we come.

Interesting creativity! But I doubt the positive effect of those additions. The focal point of of a dish is there in relation to the depth & diameter of the dish. When you add pieces, their function become diferent due to the shift of the contributing factors not remaining constant.

What do others say?

Yes, at some point he does require to change/calculate the focal point, but I have a friend here limuru that has a modified 90CM for Nilesat/Eutelsat and he hasn't changed the focal point.

It's working wonders, but for best results he should change the focal point
 
Any member on 91.5? How r 3840/41 tp behaving? i got it @ 74%, very stable, cas 'ETC' but no signal.

Try this:
1. Press info on any of the channels from both groups. You will notice on your channel list you likely have channels on both groups with both 3974 and 3977 freq.
1. Navigate to chanel list and delete all disc**s group with 3977 to remain with discs with only 3974 and delete all h bee o group chanels with 3974 and remain with only the ones with 3977
2. Create p**v kee id 3974 and put disc kee
3. Create p**v kee id 3977 and put h be o kee
4. Make sure the 3974 id is not been duplicated on line 116. If it has been duplicated the the kee on that line will create a conflict, change that id to 0000.

True it doesn't contribute to the signal reflected onto the focal point. But it does block thermal noise coming from beyond the rim of the dish. The lnb's response tapers from a maximum in the middle to about 3db down at the edge of the dish. So thermal noise from beyond still degrades SNR. Blocking it would certainly help.
