Wow, love these holiday photos, I guess that terrestrial TV is a rarity in some of these countries, either that or it is totally inadequate.

the missus didnt really want me doing "work" whilst there, I was lucky to get the camera for a few shots! she wanted me by her side whilst she went into EVERY *king shop looking for the perfect gift for her mother!!!!!!
a whole mixture od dishes from what i can remember, and many of them looked to be homemade!!!!

 

[Turok]

maybe the homemade dishes comes from poland
can you make some pictures of the dishes in your store?
how much your installer charge such kind of selfmade dish?

i have no idea as I saw these whilst on a short trip to morocco...I am actually in Valencia, Spain, where the installs require more "professional" made dishes rather than the home made ones....but maybe I will expriment with a paella dish in the next few weeks!

A mixed bag!

Pic 5, which has a Sky Dish for perspective, suggests the bigger Dish is facing quite a way to the West. Were these Dishes on domestic premises, or were some of them on retail/commercial?

The zone 2 in picture 5 certainly looks slightly warped. It'll be the camera angle

hi - Tivù -

i saw i saw 7 of them in total -- at different locations - in the far north west -- and along the north coast - all were on private houses.
80 - 90 c.m sized - and all as you see in pic 5 - a bit to the west --

cheers nelson_b

Right-ho.

So with their possible Nordic allegiance, I wonder if they are for Thor or Sirius?

i,m back home in north west yorks now -- l.o.l.

maybe they ran small business ,s from home or worked from home - to afford to run them ?

some of the properties must have been at least 30 miles - minimum from a telephone exchange .

cheers

AAAAhhhhhh, just to inform you!! People in Islamic countries, where the receiver is not legal, uses that homemade dishes, as you say. If you pay more, you can find high - end class material dishes but the majority of them uses that kind of dishes like the photos of Nelson_b. The fact’s that they make it for diplomats or the foreigners living here, not for the normal people. It’s prohibited “as they say” using this kind of transmissions, but who cares. In Islamic countries you can find whatever you want:
Caviar, Alcoholics “every kind” , Dishes, Original DVDs and CDs and ….. but you’ve to pay a little more.

[d122k7trb]

Those kinds of dishes are not interesting. They must be good painted or stained.
They become rusted very soon in rainy days, in winter or fall. Better not using that kind of dishes. And the most important is:
The signal quality is beeeeennnnnnnnn reduced or lessened. You’ll have parasites.
