une parabole, une antenne satellite
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!

Commercial satellites are in geosynchronous orbit around the equator. They are each at a particular longitude. The direction you need to point your dish then depends on where you are. In northern Canada, dishes point at a very shallow angle to the south. In California, they are pointing around 45 degrees up and some amount east or west. Find out the longitude of the satellite you want and then look up on the satellite company's website (or do an Internet search) for the angles to aim (one angle is skyward, the other north/south/east/west).
A satellite dish is used to receive signals from satellites in space, typically for broadcasting television, internet, or radio signals. The dish reflects and focuses the signals onto a receiver, allowing users to access a wide range of content and services.
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.

You can use it for receiving free to air tv.
Satellite dish is used to receive the data colleted by the satellite and to give commands to it.
A sky dish is a satellite dish that is used by companies such as Dish Network or DirecTV to receive their satellite signals. They are usually mounted on your home and pointed in the direction of the company's satellite.
If you are referring to the original satellite dish known as the C band satellite, the satellite company that used these was DISH Network.
You can sell it on eBay or keep it. There are people who are looking for satellite dish. We do not require your to return the dish from you abode. If you move, we bring out a new dish for your installation. You only take your receivers and remotes to your new location. You can leave the old dish or you can remove it and do as you like with the dish.
To find a satellite dish antenna for sale, going to the local television company would be the first stop. Typically they have a wide selection of satellite dish accessories and satellite dishes.
You can usually get an HD satellite dish from your satellite company. Direct TV or Dish Network are two large companies that are available in almost every area. They have HD satellite dishes. www.dishnetwork.com
A Satellite Dish is used to receive and transmit signals which contains different information to or from the satellite.
You can find a reliable service for satellite dish installation near you by searching online for local satellite dish installation companies or contacting your satellite TV provider for recommendations.
You can hook up a stereo system with a Dish satellite to an old TV with only one AC input by using the three plug RCA cable for the sound system. Then, use the AC input for the satellite itself.
