Match of the day.. In St Marie

[Chris Holmes]

Whilst watching the latest episode of “Death in paradise” the inspector
got bawled out and fined for having fitted a satellite dish so he could
watch match of the day…..

The dish must have bern all of a foot in diameter snd appeared to be
pointing horizontally.

Even were it 20 times the size, I don’t think he would have been able to
pick up signals aimed at the UK.

Are there any satellite TV signals beamed to the Caribbean?

Or does he need to get his money back?

It's set in a mythical Caribbean island, isn't it? (Forgive me, I've
never seen it) I'm not saying that what's good for Argentina is good
for St Marie but I know first hand that events like that can be
watched in many South American locations on the cable channels and
there are also dubious rebroadcasters of special events who distribute
paid-for services like that through the internet.

My guess is that was a microwave link to a rebroadcaster on another
island. BICBW

Maybe you should check out what can be received, albeit with big dishes
at Menwith Hill and Morwenstowe.

Also maybe check what a "plot device" is. ;-)

Maybe what he had was a satellite Internet link.

As far as I'm aware, the programme is a work of fiction. Not everything is
true.
