I've had great success and fun by turning a satellite dish into a super directional microphone. Any small mic will work, just position it at the focal point in place of the old microwave amp facing toward the dish. Add small headphone amplifier and listen up!

Why are satellite dishes white and not mirrored?

Well, the satellite dishes in my area are mostly grey, not white - but to the question - why painted and not mirrored?. The wavelengths that need reflecting by the parabolic mirror of the satellite dish are in the microwave range - a millimetre or so. So, the dish need only be smooth compared to that length, and a paint finish meets that standard, though of course, most of the reflection is done by the metal of the dish. The paint need not be radio-conductive or radio-reflective. Were the dish needed to operate in the optical range, then indeed, a mirror finish would be needed.

What is the best TV satellite system for a motorhome?

It depends on what kind of motorhome and when you want to watch Dish TV. If you will be mobile and wanting television, you will need a self adjusting satellite dish; there are also stationary satellite dishes available. As far as a satellite system, I prefer Dish TV because of the price, channel selection and technology. Dish Network also has a affordable portable satellite dish that does not attach to your motor-home called the Dish Tailgater.
