You got a clearer shot than the one I took from the Sport TV center(It's on the "dishes on holiday" thread).

Pretty neat. I always thought parabolic dishes were a fascinating thing ever since I was little.

[FONT=&quot]LOL, the final brick wall is a foot lower than the first two obstacles.... they obviously respect anyone who can overcome the first two...

Or maybe the razor wire and barbed wire each cut about a foot off the bottom of your legs.

LOL, just had a proper look at the picture, the two fences are owned by BOC, the brick wall is entyell, but the land runs downhill quite steeply, so it is possibly even taller. ;)

Can't zoom in to the dishes on Google, but the blue arrow is where I am in the big car park and the red arrow is the entyell building. :)

I wouldn't have thought NTL would have needed sources from so many different positions.

They also pull in feeds for a few foreign language channels, plus they may take channel 5 from one of the other satellite feeds.

Not sure why they have such crap quality when it gets to the TV in the lounge, they could have done better with a Sky dish and quad LNB feeding the system (just):-rofl2

That would explain that, then.
