There used to be a very popular high-tech in the rural areas of the mainland, almost every household has it, and it has also brought us a lot of joy and happy time, but with the continuous progress and development of society, it has gradually withdrawn from the public's sight.
But what people didn't expect was that after losing the market on the mainland, it had a vast market in Africa and became the most popular product in Africa.
When they knew that this was the case, and when the product was no longer popular in the mainland, they were very shocked, and at the same time they were also very puzzled, why such an excellent product, but the Chinese no longer use it?
So, why is the product eliminated by the mainland so popular in Africa, and how is it withdrawing from our market step by step?
Such a once brilliant and now very declining product is the satellite pot that swept the entire countryside back then, it can be said that every household had it at that time, whether poor or rich, it has become one of the indispensable equipment for farmers.
Since the television set entered the mainland, it has caused great repercussions, and the TV programs it has brought have added a lot of fun to our lives and have also become an important tool for mass entertainment.
And the most critical part of it to achieve all this is to have a very strong ability to receive signals, at the beginning, it was an antenna, its reception capacity is very limited, often only a few TV channels.
After that, there were antenna receivers that needed to be manually adjusted, although more TV channels could be seen, but the signal was not ideal, and it was often affected by the environment, and it often required people to manually adjust the signal.
Soon after, a brand new product appeared, that is, a satellite pot with a very strong ability to accept TV signals, which is not only simple to install, but also can accept a lot of TV stations, and the price is also very affordable.
And it is not afraid of being affected by the weather, and it needs people to manually adjust the signal, so once it appeared on the market, it was very popular, and it can be said that at that time, every household had a satellite pot on the roof, and it has become the standard configuration of every house.
It has also brought great changes to the countryside and greatly broadened people's horizons, but the development and progress of society is very fast, and the development of the Internet is like a bamboo, and no one can resist it.
And not a few years later, the rise of network TV, the emergence of set-top boxes, seriously affected the market of satellite pots, and then, it gradually withdrew from the mainland market, becoming the tears of the times.
After all, the set-top box is indeed very convenient, and at that time, the satellite pot could only accept local stations, but there were more TV channels accepted.
But the set-top box is different, because it is connected to the network, you don't have to wait for live TV, you can watch a lot of TV series and movies, and there are no ads, and the Internet was also very developed at that time, which can fully meet people's needs.
Therefore, the emergence of set-top boxes has quickly gained the love of countless people, and capable families have quickly removed the satellite pot and replaced it with a more advanced set-top box, just like the satellite pot eliminated the closed-circuit TV, it was also eliminated by the set-top box.
After all, although the signal of the satellite pot is much stronger than that of CCTV, it is exposed to the outside after all, and it will still be affected by the weather, and the signal will be bad.
Moreover, the number of TV channels it accepts is also limited, unlike now, there are all kinds of TV channels, so it is inevitable to be eliminated by more advanced equipment.
In addition, the satellite pot also has a lot of safety risks, in order to not affect the TV signal and receive more TV channels, it is often necessary to place it in a very high place, so most families put it on the roof.
Moreover, its installation steps are very simple, so many people choose to install it themselves, after all, they are not professionals, so the installation often does not meet the safety regulations, so it causes a lot of safety problems.
When the fixation is not secure, it is still in a high position, and it is very easy to be blown off in windy weather, or in thunderstorms, it is a thing that will occur when it is struck by lightning.
Therefore, for the sake of safety, there are regulations prohibiting individuals from installing satellite pots without permission, and there are better options, so satellite pots are gradually eliminated, which is also the result of the progress of the times, and no one can stop it.
What people didn't expect was that the equipment that was "abandoned" on the continent was indeed very popular after it spread to Africa, and it was revived in the second spring and became a hot commodity.
As we all know, Africa's economic development level is still relatively backward and poor, and even many places are still in the point of not having enough to eat, so in the case of economic backwardness and inability to meet food and clothing, many places are unable to popularize network TV at all.
But in addition to food and clothing, people also have to meet spiritual needs, and the poorer the place, the more important it is to broaden your horizons, and watching TV shows is also a good way.
Therefore, the satellite pot from the continent has become an important way for many parts of Africa to obtain TV signals, which can not only receive signals from their own countries, but also from their neighbors.
Even, many African people, in order to have a satellite pot, even if they hike far away, have to buy one, and will share this joy with their neighbors, so satellite pot has become a very important household product in Africa.
After all, the price of the satellite pot is not very expensive, and the operation is also very simple, you can accept hundreds of TV channels at once, which is a very economical and practical product for people in Africa who cannot afford to use network TV.
There are also many people who will be able to have a satellite pot, as a very proud thing, the satellite pot has such a different fate in different countries and regions, and it is indeed full of emotion.
The reason why the satellite pot has lost the market in the mainland is mainly because there are better alternatives, which is also a symbol of the mainland's development is getting better and better, after all, only the continuous progress of society and the continuous prosperity of the country will have more advanced products.
And its rejuvenating glow in the African region has also made us more deeply aware of the strength of the country and the progress of science and technology has brought great convenience to our lives.
