[QUOTE="Channel Hopper, post: 51123, member: 175144"] Hi Twag My experience comes from the hands on approach (plus a number of different jobs in the microwave industry) for nearly 20 years. I would like to say Ive seen it all, but then theres always something new each day. The consumer business - sales and technical - in the West has taken a bit of a dive lately. All manufacturing is a Far Eastern thing, with maybe a couple of outdoor components (dish and mount) remaining local to Europe . Similarly the the installations slump over in the UK means fewer jobs overall. Competition from Sky, Freeview and TUTV , coupled with mail order DIY kits have really taken their toll on decent jobs, though the communial systems / specialist dish work does provide a welcome input into the wallet. Its good to know there are still enthusiasts that go out of the way to find stuff , rather than expect it to be delivered on a plate for the subscription. You could do worse than to flick the dish over to Turksat at 42 East for a lot of the important matches, however you may be giving away a bit of margin by the dish size reduction [/QUOTE]
