My System: Triax 1.1m and Orbital 80cm Motorised Dishes. Various fixed Dishes. Eclectic selection of Digital and Analogue Receivers. Complex switching and distribution that SWMBO cannot fathom. Nor me.

It takes all sorts!

My System: sky

this reminds me of an accommodation block for servicemen at brize norton raf base - the dishes are all down one end of the block mounted on concrete posts then the cable runs along a wire fence and then go overhead to the rooms - the groundsman are forever hitting them down when they start to droop then going over the cable with there sit on lawn mowers - how the top brass allowed it i have no ideas
