My System: Pace 2200 Sky digibox with ftv card, Comag SL65 FTA sat receiver, 40cm Sky minidish, Setpal terrestrial receiver (for free uk tv only!). | I'd suggest the telephone (think about it!). And what about - much earlier - the heliograph? (Not quite what was meant, I think, but these do qualify!). | ||
