It didn’t look so bad when we had it outside the ol’ mobilehome.
Once they develop a crippling wheel wobble, shopping carts become easy targets for predators such as the satellite dish, which swoops down from the rooftops, attaches to the cart’s leg, and waits for its next signal.
It’s all in fun until the shop comes looking for its property.
(Remember, folks, each of those carts costs a store more than $100 US, more jurisdictions are passing draconian cart-control laws fining stores when their carts go astray, and more stores are hiring cart-roundup businesses. Guess who ultimately pays for all that?)
The Draconians
Very, very funny.
If the fixer is a kiwi like they say they are then that trolley would have cost the supermarket about $800NZD. There is only one company that makes them here in New Zealand so they don’t come cheap.
That’s to get the new free walmart TV, so there should not be problem.
Wrong again, waldo, but idiocy and a small charge of the owners brain cells is what this is worth

Coincidence?
it has some resemblance, a kludgey resemblance. a relative of k9 perhaps? what next? a jury rigged TARDIS perhaps? , a kludged dalek?
Three wires, one dish. They’re saving for their yung’uns education, or court costs.
Mmmno. If you look closely, there’s only one cable coming from the head unit. The other cable appears to run from the lower right window to an upstairs window, or another antenna on the roof.
It’s a joke on us, or on them; the dish is facing the wrong way.
Trying to get Chinese TV.
They’re using a hyperbolic antenna in order to pick up signals that come through wormholes.
I miss the burning trashcan in the scenario.
I know where they got the shopping cart…
I wonder where they stole the Dish???
You should see how the receive telephone services.
Must be from dish network
Doubles as a barbecue!
specially if you are receiving microwaves on that antenna.
Double duty. And my wife thinks all my ideas are stupid.
They probably saved a bundle getting their service a la carte
Some many insults to “DISH” with this kludge. Heh, heh, heeh, hee hee. HAAAAAHAHHHHHAAAAAAA HHHAAAAAAH AHAHAHAAHAAHAHAHAoooooh, what a miserable existence.
Your existence indeed is a miserable one, Ian. What’s the matter? Did you finally get banned from HC enough times to give up and troll elsewhere?
So that’s how you get channel 69!
Does it get the Home Shopping Network?
In 40 languages!
I hear that along with the Cart-oon Network are among two of the more popular reasons to go Kludge Cable.
The brand-new Tesla Thunderray accumulates electricity from thunderbolts and projects mini-Tunguska asteroids at your unfortunate neighbours’ houses.
^ Win …
so thats how you get the shopping channel
All that effort, and STILL nothing worth watching on TV!
The only clean dish in the house and it’s used for this?
Why not put the shopping cart on the roof?
How the heck did he tune the dish to receive anything? I tried that with mine once. Nearly impossible if you want to get all the channels. With Dish, at least, you actually have to tune in two satellites. Having Dish or DirectTV come and do it for you is free, so why in the world would you jerry-rig this thing? Because this is is probably a receiver and dish the guy bought at Radio Shack or whatever and he’s trying to hijack the signals.
I think this two-satellite thing is rather common in America… Okay, there are also several sats orbitting over Europe but you need only one, e.g. in Germany Astra 19,2° east to receive thousands of programmes (even BBC world and Al-Jazeera (the 10 a.m. news were always funny as 10 in Arab language
). But Eutelsat also has fine broadcasting services.
Like I said before, he said he was a kiwi, aka, a New Zealander. We don’t have Radio Shack here for starters. Secondly, free tv here you only get about 5 channels unless you pay for a digital box which then gives you about 5 more plus some radio stations. If you pay for satellite tv subscription ($30 or more per month depending on the channels) then you get all the rest like cooking, movies, entertainment etc.
What he was probably trying to do was hijack his neighbours satellite tv. If you live close enough to someone with it then sometimes you can faintly pick up one or two of their channels. Not in good enough quality for that sort of effort though.
I think it’s missing something…
Ah, a bicycle!
Wait a minute-isn’t this part of the famous NORAD missle defense system?
How would that even work? It doesn’t even look like it’s parabolic. Is that even a satellite dish, or just a garbage pail lid with an LNB strapped to it?
Matt: I think you’re right. It looks like a lid, steel tubing, and a taped-on LNB… possibly from a broken/trashed dish?
