Talk:Satellite dish

message: Is any chance to expand the antenna to receive simple TV local programming and at the same time receive satellite programming?
:This is not possible unless the local programming is carried on satellite. The terrestrial TV frequencies (VHF and UHF) are totally different to those on satellite (C and Ku band), as are the encoding methods for terrestrial digital and satellite digital. Occasionally, local programming may be transmitted on satellite. In the United Kingdom most if not all regional versions of ITV and BBC television are transmitted in this manner.
:Note that in Ireland some people are using very large parabolic dishes (>2m in diameter) to receive terrestrial UHF TV transmissions from Wales. This is quite an extreme measure, when no "off the shelf" aerials are up to the job. The technical details are somewhat different to satellite reception, in that there is a UHF dipole at the focus of the dish rather than an LNB. Also the dish is aimed at a point on the earth's surface :-) Rugxulo 21:56, 11 June 2007 (UTC)

In numismatics
Television has had such an impact in today's life, that it has been the main motif for numerous collectors' coins and medals. One of the most recent ones is the Austrian 50 Years of Television commemorative coin minted in March 9, 2005. The obverse of the coin shows a "test pattern", while the reverse shows several milestones in the history of television, including satellite dishes.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Bjerke (talk • contribs) 06:07, 17 July 2010 (UTC)

message: Why do I get redirected here?
I don't want an article on satellite anything.
I want an article on normal MATV, with VHF/UHF antenna.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 58.165.218.238 (talk) 05:43, 29 March 2011 (UTC)

message: I was surprised to not see these mentioned here at all, nor do I see any articles about them. Here's an article featuring flat satellite "dish" (in Norwegian) for reference. DarkPhoenix (talk) 12:46, 4 November 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: Most flat satellite "dishes", from what I remember of the technology, are microstrip antennae rather than reflectors. There were some printed Fresnel zone type "flat" reflectors in the late 1980s early 1990s but they seemed to be overtaken by cheap and mass produced stamped reflectors.

message: There are many things you need to consider before buying a satellite dish. First, you have to determine if you need a dish for your home or for business purposes. Now here is a list of things you need to ask yourself before making your final decision. Out of all of the television technology in your home, the one most likely to affect your overall quality of life is your satellite dish. This device lets you watch TV from anywhere in the world that has a view of the sky, which makes it a wonderful option for people who live in areas where cable service is spotty or unavailable. However, it’s important to choose the best satellite dish for your needs.
Before choosing the best satellite dish, here are things to consider;
1. Determine what you want to watch
2. Satellite Dish 
3. Contracts 
4. Installation Do-it-yourselfer37 (talk) 09:46, 14 January 2021 (UTC)
