You say the Manhattan set top box is of low quality which I find surprising because they were always the Rolls Royce of satellite equipment that most enthusiasts couldn't afford to buy.
How much money did he want for installing the extra equipment so you could use your recorder?
Winter hill will have all the same teleshopping programmes as Haslingden, it probably has more of them as it carries more channels.

Another apology from me for using the wrong words - unfortunately I don't have technical vocabulary....
I was told by the chap who originally fitted the Manhatten gadgetry that I could not use my recording machine with it. The chap who visited recently said that if I wanted to use my recorder then the dish needed extra gadgetry .... he demonstrated what I needed by pointing to a 'thing' in the middle of the black dish affixed to an external wall - (the 'thing' is shaped like a little fat sausage lol ) my understanding is I either needed another sausage or needed a new dish which had the required elements as integral fittings.
Currently my recorder is tuned into my original TV programmes which use the original aerial. If there is uninterrupted reception via the aerial I can view my old recordings.
Due to my age, I catnap and through the night when most people are asleep the aerial TV actually has programmes such as films/dramas which i like to watch. There are no similar programmes available on the channels via my dish.
MONEY: The rigger who the wind farm recently sent said the cost was F.O.C.
