[QUOTE="Satellite74, post: 795373, member: 379688"] I just wonder how far east will be too far... Hanover is 488 miles east of Birmingham, the center of the UK beam, according to Google Earth... and Birmingham-Norwich is only 150 miles... I would have enough space on my balcony to accomodate a 120cm dish... anything larger than that, and I'll probably be looking at a rebroadcasting subscription. If the UK beam on 2F turns out really tight, then I predict an explosion in Slingbox rebroadcasting services... who will then pretty soon become the object of class-action lawsuits by the content industry... they might even end up becoming the next stage in the industry's battle against copyright and licence infringement... it will be the same as with music and video filesharing... rather than providing a convenient feasible payment model for all those interested (like BT, Sky or Virgin Broadband subscriptions for UK TV that are valid abroad), they will flex their muscle and go after rebroadcasters - and their customers. Evil, evil people... :mad: [/QUOTE]
