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?

This isn't the Daily Mail, so please give us a break.

Correct , its whats known as "reality", which if you're a Guardian reader its
something you'll only be distantly familiar with.

Be told.

Where they take their "feed" from is irrelevant.

From whence they take their feed is entirely relevant to the point
being made.

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.

I would have thought that at any particular location, the limitation on
the number of 'new' reorganised MUXes is essentially determined by
number of free holes that are left in the spectrum (although I suppose
there could also be constraints due to lack of physical 'real estate' in
the equipment racks and the aerial systems).

Only if it is a repeater relay. Some relays are primarily
transponders. The ones I worked on did both. The identification signal
must have been received from the transponder before switching to
repeater mode. Mind you it's nearly 50 years since I worked on relays
so things may have changed a bit.

I can't help noticing that many hospital wards in Sheffield are largely
filled by people who don't speak a word of English.

in the last few years, whenever i've stayed in weymouth, the freeview
tuners only receive a dozen or so tv channels - lots missing.
maybe they all have useless aerials or maybe there's something to it.
