Funny how so many people in allegedly "poor" areas have enough
money to donate to murdochs pension fund. A lot of inner city areas look like
Houston space centre.

Some parts of the country get no more than 20 channels with Freeview,

Only 20 channels? Life must be tough. I hope they get free councilling.

and have no access to cable - so there are many homes with satellite
dishes.

Why, can't they get the 80 odd channels on freeview?

No. Many remote areas don't get the full range of Freeview channels,
and before the changeover to digital, could only receive 5 channels.

Actually, most relays only had 4 channels, now just the 3 PSB muxes.

We had four channels for ages, but a couple? of years before switchover,
5 suddenly appeared. We had _no_ digital at all until switchover. We get
17 now, plus radio.

No, this is not reality at all, just your sick and distorted
perception of it.

to exchange paranoid stereotypes as a substitute for meaningful,
useful thought ...

No one in Sheffield speaks English.

A lot of those dishes are for the foreign channels the immigrants like.
Ah yes, the ones who come to britain because they haven't got 2 pennies to
rub together in their own country but mysteriously find enough cash to
pay for satellite TV and a widescreen TV once here. Amazing isn't it?

It that the patients or the staff?

Steve

The patients. The staff have to speak reasonable English these days, in
my experience.

If it works then lash out the £25 for a Freesat-from-Sky card
(once off payment) or use a Sky subscription card which is no
longer active for subscription channels - it will still work and
decode the FTV channels as well and give you the correct region
for the FTA channels.

Only a few quid more will get you a Freesat box. With a Freesat box,
everything is taken care of for you, including your region.

And mounting a bloody ugly satellite dish on the side of your house/squat.

So what about these bloody great 3 boom thelves things on large tall
poles on chimneys then?..

Funny how so many people in allegedly "poor" areas have enough money to donate

Well you don't have to pay him, heard of Freesat?..

A lot of inner city areas look like Houston space
centre.

Agreed sometimes they aren't put where they could be for best aesthetic
effect. Much the same on the chimney stacks of the city too;!..

That must have been quite traumatic.
