The reflector piece of a Dish satellite is curved in order to receive the proper signals from the orbiting satellites in space (also known as orbital locations). In order to view a specific satellite channel, each Dish reflector is designed with a different curvature.

Can you run satellite dish on on your sony str-d715 receiver?
only if you have an RCA output from the dish to run into the receiver. The receiver does not have the standard coaxial input.
Can you use a directv dish with a dishnetwork receiver?
Just to clarify on the answers given. The LNBs are different for DISH Network and DTV along with the receivers. The LNB and receiver takes the signal from the satellite and gives you your signal on your TV. As stated, you can't use different receivers and LNB from different companies. The dish outside does not matter, just the LNB and receiver. Simply, no. The satellite dishes use different switching schemes internally for accessing the satellite transponders. Bull....loney. I'm using an old 18" DirecTv dish to receive signals from a Dishnetworks satellite at 119W. The satellite receivers will be different because different signalling protocols are used.
How do you draw a satellite link in a computer schematic?
Graphically you'd draw a stylised satellite (in orbit) and satellite dish (on the ground), with a dashed line between the two. If the dish is both transmitter and receiver, use arrowheads in both directions. If it is a receiver only, arrowheads should point from the satellite to the dish.
How far can your dish be from the satellite box?
For DISH Network, the receiver can be about 200 ft away from the dish to operate optimally.

How does one fit a cable to an external Ariel Dish?
The fit a cable to an external aerial dish, one must check the satellite receiver to find the coaxial socket. Connect the cable from your satellite receiver to the external antennae socket.
Does it matter what satellite dish you get?
If I'm understanding your question correctly, it does matter what type of satellite dish you get to go with a particular satellite receiver such as a Dish Network receiver. Even the type of satellite receiver or programming selection can require a different type of Dish as all receivers pick up different satellites in orbit. Dish Networks new receivers, such as the Vip 722 and Vip 922 require a 1000.4 Dish. If you meant what company to go with, do your homework and shop around. Make sure you understand the promotional price that you will get initially, and then what your cost will be when the promotion ends. In my opinion, Dish Network has the best deals around.
Which Satellite Receiver's can you record with, like the Tivo does?
