[QUOTE="Barometer, post: 757574, member: 302700"] From what I understand, this is a MDS Microwave Distribution Service in the locality. Signals are transmitted from a ground-based location having been received from satellite. The frequencies used by the company are such that usually need small dishes. It is said that.... These systems are slowly being raided by the police as they are (allegedly) infringing copyright, re-transmission laws and are often said to be using illegal frequencies. These points are not guaranteed to be 100% accurate as there is a lot of mystery as to how they work. Local newspapers periodically run stories of The Guardia Civil raiding re-transmission centres. The same papers often run adverts for what are claimed to be 'totally legal' "UK TV" systems. Who knows the truth? Suffice it to say, the small dish referred to will have nothing to do with satellite reception. [/QUOTE]
