I used a home built Quadrifilar Helix antenna (QFH) and an ICOM PCR-1000 @50KHz bandwidth to receive the signals.   I think the last image I captured was 15 years ago.  With GOES, I think the polar orbiters are going obsolete and not being replaced.

Actually the next generation of polar orbiters are due to be launched starting 
this year.  More information:

The newest 137 MHz orbiters are using digital image transmission to obtain about 
ten times the ground resolution and more channels.
