2. One of the most active handymen would have to be ShiToy who adopted the
English nickname Stone – it was an easy choice: the Chinese word ShiToy
means stone in English. Thanks to his education as an
IT technician he knows his way around and involves himself
intensively on the technical side of his satellite reception hobby.
We met up with him in his apartment in a newly built section
in northern Beijing just outside the 5th Ring Road
– actually, there really isn’t any
old-town section in Beijing; all of
the construction took place within
the past few decades.
■ Stone, a regular reader of the
Chinese version of TELE-satellite,
on the roof of his apartment
building. The 1.8-meter antenna is
aligned to 138°E while the 1.5-meter
dish is pointed to 115.5°E with
another looking at 107.5°E.

– it’s hard to tell that
it isn’t professionally
manufactured.

receiver collection can be seen in the
background along with one monitor
for his PC and another for satellite
