Guide to Satellite TV: Installation, Reception and Repair
Not about going up into orbit to fix a satellite --- they have to bring those into the shop ---- but about installing and servicing ground equipment to receive television from space. Falls between a technical handbook and a theoretical text for professionals in aerial rigging and the television trades.
