or a motorised one if you want "the lot", why would someone choose
multiple dishes?

When they want to record or watch from more than one at once.

I could get nearly a thousand channels on my dish, but I struggled to
find even one channel worth watching, let alone want to record.

I watch almost nothing live, watch everything from recorded, so I can skip
over the ads, even on the national govt broadcasters
and so I can watch it when I want to rather than when they choose
to broadcast it. The only thing I do watch live is the national govt
evening TV news and even then only till the sport starts.

I use terrestrial broadcasts too, but I don't need a dish for those; the
dish was for European broadcasts on Hotbird 13°E. And believe me there is
nothing worth watching, even if you know the languages. So never had the
need to set up a scheduled recording, which would have been a right pain
anyway.
