My family was in Dublin in the late 50's, RTE (The BBC for Ireland) was appalling so the houses all hosted huge outside antenna in an effort to get the BBC/ITV from transmitters in the UK. Quite a few Dubliners must have been killed from trying to get the best signal whilst up a chimney and adjusting a 20 ft antenna and trying to listen to someone in the house telling them what the picture was like.And having to adjust the "rabbit ears"(or bush-cable depending on where you are) for the best reception for Hockey Night In Canada...
