Any point in keeping the Hotbird Satellite Dish?

    A girl from Poland has just moved out of my place. She had set up a Satellite dish to get Polish TV from Cyfra+. She has taken the receiver box but left the satellite dish and cable.

    What should I now do with this satellite dish? Could I put it to any use or just take it down altogether?

    Cheers.

    Plenty of stuff on hotbird m8, well worth keeping. You may need a new decoder to receive anything though! there are a few chans where you can get a choice of champions league game for free!

    Chanel list:

    Its up to you? Are you into sports? If so get yourself a cheap multicypt receiver and an art sports card. You'll have a sport fest for less than 150€
