Or like this.. Yes, that's me. The tower is in Odense, DK (maybe you know it, @st1?) belonging to a local cable company but most of the dishes have been taken down now in favour of fibre delivered feeds.

I do, actually. Drove past it a couple of month ago after visiting friends in Odense. And it did occurr to me "that must be the C J one!".
IIRC they're the largest "antenna-union" in Denmark.
Proudly independent - can decide their own bouquet as and when they want.
But becoming more and more squeezed by Broadband and DTT/Cable offerings (esp now that customers of the latter can have individual choice of channel packages to some extent).

Not really related but somehow I came to think of this thread when I saw this: Help Us Increase Coverage - Host ADS-B Equipment (Kuusamo, Finland).

That is interesting and I would have done it but being half way up the side of one of the highest fells in the area would block signals from the west. Also probably wouldn't be able to install the equipment within a week as required but internet isn't a problem.
