Yup! I'm looking forward to them having equipment available again (so I don't need to homebrew).
> Don't even need a big dish.
With a decent LNB, you don't need a dish at -all-.

!! So it is! You have my order.
Just FYI, somehow I'd been ending up on this page: https://othernet.is/products/dreamcatcher-circuit-board

Upping awareness. Last Youtube video by Tech Vibes was 3 years ago. Maybe not a lot has changed, but youtube punishes old content :(

Text weather forecasts.
CBC news feed if it can fit: https://www.cbc.ca/lite/news?sort=editors-picks
Maybe just include in the North American feed.
