Actually, it's a 'Sat-Hat'. As the IF is zapped straight into your cranium, there's not even any need for a screen!

Seen it, waiting for the price, but .......................................................................... and it is a big but, it will never replace the dish, that one is equivalent to about 45/50cms, can you imagine how big a 1m one would be. :)

Yeah, I'd like to see the 1.8M version. Bet it would look like the Eden project on your roof!!!!

A little less analogue, and a lot more crap.

I think the main idea is it does not require planning permission , and so this little device does the Astra2 stuff, leaving you with a dish of 90cm for the remaining satellites.

But putting all your dishes behing a plastic bin on the roof keeps them from neighbours attention in the first place....

It is certainly a winning idea, it can be mounted at many angles and on almost any surface and is pretty much wind resistant.
