…watching that thing all day long!

After many months of our satellite system not working, we finally managed to get someone to come over and take a look at our dish. The man (who arrived a few days, and several irate phone calls late) thinks our LNB is the problem, and if all goes to plan, we should get the channels back. We also need to decide whether to go for a second dish (and receiver) to pick up the NTV package of Russian channels for Ira, or perhaps the cable TV option around here (Alma TV), or just leave it as is for now. Anyway, the satellite man did not want to do the work today, as it is apparently too windy, and he didn’t have any medical supplies on him should the worse happen…

(To any non-native English speakers reading this, mothers always used to warn their children that they would get square eyes watching telly for too long - as our TV is widescreen, the saying needed a little amendment.)
