[QUOTE="Fisty McB, post: 935961, member: 389824"] Not exactly exotic, but I noticed these two dishes around the back entrance of William Hill bookmakers in Omagh, N Ireland. One on the left is definitely a Channel Master with well reinforced wall bracketry. It looks like a 1.2 metre version. Making rough observations I'm reasonably certain this is looking at Astra 4A at 4.8 East. The dish on the right seems to be a no-name dish, probably 80cm. This is looking further east in the sky compared to the CM dish. At first I thought it might be looking at Astra 2E/F/G at 28.2 East but I then thought that I'm sure the likes of William Hill wouldn't be installing such dishes especially for domestic channels and that they can't show At The Races or Racing UK in the premises legally anyway! So I'm now thinking that it's aimed at 33 East for Turf TV on Eutelsat 33B. Not able to 100% confirm it myself however - inside the bookmakers there was just one main screen showing racing with 12 other screens showing text & still images. If it is Turf TV, it might be a backup feed if the SiS feed goes down. If someone who installs satellite systems at bookmakers knows more, I'd be interested to know.
