Satellite Solutions

Strictly Come Dancing is coming to our screens once more, however, Sally-Ann and Mike will be on a camp site up country, that does not have a great TV signal...... that's the reasoning behind buying a satellite dish - Yep! Strictly Come Dancing has a lot to answer for!

As we are away ourselves at the weekend, we all decided to pile down to the lock up, to try and set up the system and test it out, ensuring that it was working for their trip.

Talk about a black and white movie sketch! Have you seen those old Harold Lloyd or Laurel and Hardy movies where no-one has a clue what they are supposed to do, but they all have a go anyway, LOL!

Sally-Ann and I decided to make use of our special talents and sat in the RV chatting and calling out suggestions through the open door!

We all soon gave up, but luckily there is a TV repair bloke that lives in the same village as Sally-Ann and Mike, and he advised then that we had done it all correctly, we were just trying to link to the wrong satellite! We received the above picture after they had arrived on site and set up - just in time for Friday nights first show - Hooray!

  4. Hi Jo

    Don't worry about not stopping by to comment recently as you have your mind on other things. I'm guilty of the same at the moment, too busy making Christmas cards just now and also trying to work out what else I need to purchase for the wedding stationery when I am up home at the end of the month.

    My husband never reads instructions either unless I'm helping do the task and I insist on checking out the instructions, although if I can I will do the assembly on my own, saves arguments and harrassment in my opinion!
