The dishes, or discs as they are referred to, have been sprouting in recent years on tops of apartment buildings, hotels and taverns, and despite the $6000 price tag for a middle of the road disc of good quality, there are indications that they may soon catch on with private homeowners in this part of the country. The proper name for the disc is TVRO or television receiving only, and they come in several sizes. But the most popular for commercial use is the 12 foot diameter. Lindsay Specialty Pro- ducts, a company which has been making electronic goods for 30 years, but is also the largest manufacturer of lawn furniture, has been making the disc for the past three years at the company plant just outside Lindsay. Sales rep Bob Barkwell told the Star last week the company has seen a gradual increase in sales over the past three years with the trend gradually moving east- ward. He believes the Ont- ario market is just about ripe after strong sales in Prairie provinces and British Columbia over the past couple of years. Mr. Barkwell said that last where so long as there is no trees or building causing obstruction. The $6000 price tag in- cludes the cost of the disc, the electronic components which go along with it and installation. Angus Meisner of Green- bank told the Star he has had several inquiries from potential Scugog Township. Mr. Meisner has an antenna installation business, and he believes there will be a demand for the discs especially from people living in rural areas where there is no cable and TV reception may not be too clear because of elevations and so on. The discs make their way into the news from time to time because of their legality. Mr. Barkwell said last week there apparently is no legal problem with the federal communications de- partment for private home owners who have a disc installed. As for commercial users such as taverns and hotels, the federal department has issued warnings, but in many cases there has been no follow-up action. The matter has not reached a court of law for a definitive answer. For the individual who customers in year, the company sold does decide to buy a dish, several hundred of the discs, there is the problem of keep- virtually all of them going to ing track of which channel commercial establishments will be offering what pro- like hotels and taverns andto grams at what time of day. private homeowners. Why are the discs seem- ingly so popular? Well, they can pick up the signals for about 70 different TV channels which are beamed from three satellites now in orbit around the equator some 22,500 miles out in space. The variety of programm- ing is almost endless: from first run movies, 24 hours a day sports specials, hard rock, variety shows, childrens programs, news, weather, public affairs, and religious shows. The channels come from three American TV satellites which send un-scrambled signals back to earth. The signals from Canadian sat- ellites are scrambled. The discs are made from aluminum panels painted EMIEL'S PLACE Restaurant & Dining Lounge 151 QUEEN ST., PORT PERRY Phone 985-2066 There are publications from the United States available which act as weekly "TV uide" for the satellite pro- grammings. The discs and electronic hardware can be installed easily by a competent technician and should last for years. They are designed to withstand winds of 100 miles per hour. Because they are built in sections, a panel can be replaced if it should be damaged. Even though the signals are coming from 22,500 miles in space, the picture that ends up on the TV screen is virtually flawless. Satellite discs are not for everyone, of course. But in- creasing sales over the last few years indicate there is considerable interest and demand and this will likely continue.
