I have thought about the ABC but installing the dish is tough, requires climbing up to the roof and bothering my ex-Seppo Sailor Moon friend to come over, plant his fat Seppo arse on my small sofa, watch the reception meter as I dangle off the roof one hand holding on, one hand adjusting the dish and the third one holding the phone to listen to him tell me to do whatever ever I just did a moment ago again. As you can imagine this is not a lot of fun.
