Hundreds. You see those dishes had a moter and it had to find the satellites in the sky to intercept the tv station signals. We had to punch in cordnance codes for each band of channels. Sometimes I would pick up a band all the way from Japan and watched the Japanese channel. I picked up a few Mexican channels too.
The odd thing was there was a rare planetary alignment that knocked the signals out for a while.
Back in those days everyone in my family had a decent job when the coal mines where open and that dish was about 4,000 US dollars.

When they first came out but the price came down a lot. It was new tech at the time. I’m not sure if I was born yet when they came out. We had to replace the moter and a hydrolic arm costed 800.00

At the time people back there had some money to spend because they all had full time jobs and owned the property for generations; thus no property or house payments. Too bad there is nothing back there anymore the local economy got so bad there people had to move to find jobs. I had to move away myself.
