Default Re: Poll - how many dishes do you have in use?

I live in an area, high up I am still after three years using the Lidl Comag 80 cm, As I laid the cox in a liberated one inch water pipe under the soil, I could put another dish up, but the dam wind is annoying at anything bigger than 80cm. Oh the dish holder is drilled onto an old cement type bird bath at ground level,semi shielded by a hedge.

It cost me £14 new, and still no sign of rust.

Ticked two but used four at some point (good analogue times)One for SKy at 19.2,(if you forgot Sky used to broadcast from that sat before they moved to 28 ( dish inherited from the previous owners of the house) one for freebies on 13E (there was plenty), one for Amos 5W if memory serves me right for feeds for polish broadcasters and one istalled by SKy when they moved from 19.2 to 28. with the one pointing at 19.2 still left working for the german FTAs and whatever was available at that position at the time (Used for Wizja TV at some point (before they merged with Canal +(cyfra+) on 13E Proudly have all the dishes in the garden shed and one of the LNBs only retired about two weeks ago when I cut the number of dishes in favour of the monoblock on one dish (thanks to southernsatellite)and dedicated dish for sky . (Wish I could put up amotorised dish but in my location it`s impossible. (Have to put the dishes wherever possible
