Satellite television dishes cover the home

[DK_Sat]

YEONGJU, South Korea — Lee Si-kap, a shy farmer living in this central South Korean town, holds a record: He owns more satellite dishes than any other South Korean — 85 of them, receiving 1,500 satellite television channels from more than 100 countries, some as far away as South Africa and Canada.

“It gets addictive. The more dishes you have, the more channels you can get."

Well spoken.

If anyone here is having troubles convincing their HOA about their plan, just show them the photo of this guy's farm, and tell them this is what you have in mind; your little dish project proposal ought to sail through committee without a hitch.

Fan to read article as well: the guy shows world feeds to 97-year old grandma. Strange thing is, while protecting foreign wifes "close to home" rights to the extreme, he ain't manage to get his own, despite competition must be high for that level of care.

Yes this is where most of the satellite hacking equipment comes from S. Korea. I bet he is doing more than just watching channels. With all the open real estate all he needs is a few motorized dishes. All that equipment suggest he is logging/monitoring streams, etc.

Yes.. I've seen that picture before too. Also, did you notice that the spraypainted "Don't Touch" words are in English? It makes you wonder...

Well ... I doubt he purchased many of those dishes "new." So, wouldn't it be possible that he just "happened" to find a few of them with graffiti already ON them? Some of the writing doesn't look very "Engligh" to me, just MHO.
