Reviews of satellite TV Orion and its subsidiaries

I use a satellite dish from Telekart for a television signal in a private home. The quality of the broadcast is satisfactory; it did not drop below average even in heavy snowfall and windy weather. The installation was carried out by company employees, so there were no difficulties with setting up and adjusting the channels.
Victor

Sometimes the picture may freeze for a few seconds, but in general it is not critical for this type of television signal. Free channels work (sometimes turn off), but after calling the operator everything works again.
