Now, about this TV and satellite dish. Could someone explain how Steve is able to pick up the audio from the channel that is being shown in the pub? Also, how is it possible to change the channel from up on the roof? This doesn't really make sense to me.

Yet some more creative (and very incorrect) thinking by TV writers. Also begs the question why the props department thought it would be a good idea to have such a big dish, have they not seen a Sky dish?


I think the idea is that a lot of pubs show channels from abroad for football etc.

And the dish isn't a Sky dish; it's a bit dodgy. Probably came from Manchester Airport a la Only Fools!

I'm not surprised. No-one wants to admit that they're sad enough to actually want to watch that bilge!

In that case, either the remote control was broken, or the licensee likes to torture his/her customers!
