Free one metre satellite dish...
I have a 1m Ku band satellite dish to give away, free. You pick up from Bryndwr/Fendalton.
The dish is a much larger version of what a Sky TV dish looks like. Being larger than a Sky dish, it gives more reliable and better quality Satellite TV pictures. It CANNOT be used to get free Sky TV!
A cheap (~$70.00) set top box satellite TV receiver is available on www.ebay.com... or www.aliexpress.com....
We have been able to watch or access over 400 satellite TV channels from all over the Middle East, Asia and the Pacific region in English and many other languages.
Many Satellite TV channels are completely free of any cost or subscriptions. It also provides ALL the New Zealand Freeview channels free of charge from the OPTUS D1 satellite. Also ideal for your caravan or motor home. Watch full TV High Definition (HDTV) ANYWHERE even in NZ terrestrial TV fringe or 'outback' or bush areas.
A satellite TV dish mounting and support bracket is also included free of charge as well as a Ku Band LNB free.
The dish has been out in the weather lately and it'll just need a quickie squirt of surface anti-rust paint but is otherwise perfectly O.K.
With NO obligation to do so, some installation advice is possible though we have no commercial or pecuniary interest in selling or installing dishes. I am/was a satellite DVBS hobbyist.
Regards, Robert.

After years of perfecting the greens on the field, he's ready to share tips on how to knock your garden out of the park. Let's just say he’s as passionate about lush lawns as he is about a good game of cricket!

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
