[QUOTE="easysat, post: 655977, member: 175305"] On a pre-Christmas shopping trip in France, I noticed the French DIY chain Leroy Merlin was selling the Metronic TNTSAT receiver packaged with a 'squarial' flat(ish) 48cm antenna for €120 (_http://www.metronic.com/index2.php?p=produits&lang=FR&idcat=2&idsscat=22&page=11). Never one to miss what looks a bargain, I invested my cash, more because I wanted the TNTSAT card. Hopefully I can recover a chunk of my investment by selling the antenna. By the way, the card IS in the box and no administrative formalities are required: you don't have to give a French address in the shop and you don't have to telephone somewhere to activate the card.
