[QUOTE="aceb, post: 1079982, member: 268811"] I was working for UKRS back when BSB and Sky were competing, there was a marked difference in the demographic purchasing each system. BSB didn't have the image problem associated with Sky, probably due to the much smaller dishes and squarials. That said I do remember quite a few of the BSB systems were replacing older Salora (or Nokia?) dishes with a magnetic polariser. Sky were on the 60CM black perforated at the time and then we switched to an large oval dish with a cylindrical LNB, maybe an Orbit? I used to detest the damn things having to build each from a flatpack, those stupid plastic plugs that had to be pushed into the rear frame before screwing on the reflector. BSB stuff was pretty much straight out the box and on the wall. Thanks to Sky I got to know most of the council estates in Sussex very well. [/QUOTE]
