Helping a family member move to their new pad. There are cables everywhere and it looks like they have wired a number of rooms to a satellite dish.


I thought that most of us received digital services direct to our TVs and/or broadband.


I'm all for ripping this all out. Any one still use a satellite for TV? Cheers

I moved into a place a few years ago with no outdoor aerial and a sky dish. A £10 indoor aerial from Argos gives me all the channels (HD where available).


Relatives in rural Scotland have freesat - useful where the internet is shite. I an area like Dulwich with reasonable internet - agreee, why!?


I took the dish to the dump - questionable whether i would have got more than a fiver on eBay for it....

Many thanks. It's s in Reading but I am sure there is a decent digital signal there and broadband.


When we lived in Sydenham the analogue signal was so good I'd joke you could just put your finger in the air to get the telly.


It is not so great here even though you can see the Crystal Palace transmitter. We have an aerial in the loft and although it's not great plenty good enough to get all the free view channels and complemented by broadband/internet TV.


Satellites I recall being from pre internet/digital transmission when it was a choice between cable if you had it, or a satellite dish


At least that is my take

    • We've got a Victorian coal hole cellar with a mud floor and after a couple of severe water leaks, I've taken more of an interest in the state of the dampness.  I've been running a dehumidifier for the past couple of weeks following a small water pipe leak and whilst most of the floor is now bone dry, there are damp patches along most of the wall adjoining the next house, a large damp patch in the middle of the floor that will not dry even with the dehumidifier right next to it and a patch of wet mud in a small hollow in the middle of the cellar.  An expert that lent us industrial drying equipment following a flood from a burst mains pipe said there will always be damp, but I'm a bit concerned in case there is a fundamental problem - any ideas from anyone with similar?
    • Best you post when you have an idea of dates  - waste  of everyone’s time
    • Hi there,  Looking for 10-12 jars (to start with) of local honey to fill a small section of a deli space in my work canteen. Please get in touch if you know of any community projects/small scale productions Cheers
    • Yeah, it did work out in the end, but it was way more stressful and expensive than it needed to be. He lost money. He had higher offers early on, but those buyers pulled out because of all the delays. On top of that, he spent a fortune on legal fees trying to get the neighbour to sign off on the freehold transfer. It dragged on for ages. In the end, he was lucky the final buyer stuck with it, but the price was lower, and the whole thing left a bad taste. A lesson learned. Share of freehold can be a real nightmare if the other owners aren’t cooperative. You’ve got to be 100 per cent sure everyone’s reasonable, otherwise it’s just not worth the hassle.
