Amiga 2000 with 1MB ram, connected to a Maspro satellite receiver - which was connected to a Maspro dish positioner.

Code written to control the channel on the receiver, and thus the satellite the dish was pointing at.
You stacked up the date and time and which channel you wanted the receiver to switch to; plus lots of other goodies.
Written in 68000 assembler using Devpac and assembled to 5KB.
Done because the language dept at the college suddenly wanted German news at 6pm on a Sunday, meaning we couldn't tape (Yep I'm that old!) Star Trek from Sky One. :)
