Dishes on holiday

If those are for remote control by sat, any indication of at which sat(s) they are pointing ?

Looking on dish pointer it's pointing around 30w give or take 5w or so, the aerial imagery isnt great

why is the truck/lorry driving on the right side?

When you are driving something that wide and that long, YOU (and the police!) decide which side of the road is the "most appropriate"!:-rofl2
PS: also, the front cab appears to be Left Hand Drive (they don't make many of those cabs, so they will be pretty much the same for all countries!) and so driving on the Right side of the road in the UK would make it easier for the driver to judge corners, bends, and so on.

From Italy ... I wonder ... was it to make the antenna more stable or they simply didn't want to (re)move it?! :confused :-doh:)

Looks like it might be one to the dreaded old Triaxs with its "approximate" declination clamp, and someone has put a wedge under the arm to correct the declination rather thatn actually adjusting it correctly!:rolleyes:

To be blunt "No" - and, anyway, I personally think we have "exhausted" the speculation on this installation !

It needs sharp eyes to work out what is going on there.
Is the dish actually in the wall or has it been cut vertically to get it as close to the wall as possible?

My take on it is that it is actually in the wall.
