My Satellite Setup
No satellite stuff for the moment (aside from a 43cm minidish that was on the house already), Samsung SyncMaster T27B550 Smart TV & Monitor, and a few computers...

It'd be interesting to see the response today if a transmitter fell over like that, obviously the fall-back for most people would be satellite TV (which wasn't available back then), but how quickly would they put up a replacement, temporary or otherwise, given the selling off of the TV bands in recent years, would there be someone in a boardroom saying "Well, we'll be selling that band off soon, so we may aswell just not build a new transmitter!"? :confused
