For the do it yourself'ers out there, buy a large Ultra long range UHF antenna, point it between 115-120 degrees and get it up as high as you can.
No one said put an omni direction dish in your window, it should be put on the roof or in the attic.
I am just dispute your comment that a omni directional antenna will not work in the villages.
I believe you are misleading people saying it does not work, i have a signal meter as well as you do and i know what works and what doesn't work and i do agree with one thing you have said height is the key.
