Each satellite TV dish can be a different shape depending on what provider you have. Dish Network satellites are more round -- the reason they are round is to get the best possible signal using the LNB (a device attached to the dish) and the specific curvature of the dish; since all TV, Cable and satellite providers use some form of satellite to get your programming each dish is a slightly different shape depending upon what satellite they are pointing to in the sky.

∙ 12y agoSatellite TV dishes are typically round in order to receive signal better. Shapes of satellite dishes can vary based on which satellite provider you have (Dish Network or DirecTV) and by what LNB (attached to Dish in order to get signal) you have. Generally speaking, the larger the Dish, the more satellites you will be able to pick up--Satellite companies typically pick up more than two orbital locations in order for you to receive your programming.
