 There's nearly as many dishes as cable connections, around Concord.
I'd estimate 1/10 dishes and 1/5 cable. I was tempted to nick a dish,
myself. The builders had knocked the whole house down, and just thrown
the dish (and preamp/tx) in the skip with the rest. I was tempted...
but couldn't think of a use for it.

Bob
