Guess What? Roy Suryo

Guess What? Roy Suryo

One would think one satellite dish for a house would be
sufficient. Not so for multimedia expert Roy Suryo, 33, who has
eight of them attached to his house in Yogyakarta.

"Initially, I had one 12-foot dish. I only had the rest of
them installed over the last two months," said Roy last week.

Roy said it had crossed his mind some time ago to install
these additional satellite dishes, but he only recently decided
to put the idea into action.

"I could no longer resist the temptation to surf the jungle of
information above us, in the sky," said Roy, adding that with the
eight dishes he could get some 500 television stations from
around the world.

"But I can only really enjoy some 100 of them, mostly due to
the language barriers," Roy said, adding that besides speaking
English and Indonesian, he also knew some French and German.

What is the reason behind this hobby? "I like making content
analysis of particular events. Having all these dishes will make
it easier for me to obtain all the material to be analyzed," Roy
said.

To this end, Roy also has four television sets and four
machines he uses to record programs and events.

"I have dozens of different angles of the attack on the World
Trade Center buildings," he said. (Sri Wahyuni)
