Umm, to get satellite tv or other signals.
Satellite dishes that beam radio waves to satellites above the Earth are typically referred to as ground stations or satellite uplink dishes. These dishes are designed to transmit signals to satellites in geostationary or low Earth orbits, enabling communication for television broadcasting, internet services, and other data transmission. They usually have a parabolic shape to focus the radio waves into a narrow beam directed towards the satellite.
The answer is YES, they look horribly taky (unless they are well mixed with surrounds, which is hard to find).
Satellite TV dishes in the Northern Hemisphere are typically pointed south because the satellites that provide the TV signals are positioned over the equator. In the Southern Hemisphere, the dishes are pointed north for the same reason, as the satellites are still positioned over the equator but appear to be in the northern part of the sky from that perspective.
Most communication satellites orbit at or near the equator. In the northern hemisphere this is obviously to the south. In the southern hemisphere it is to the north, so the dishes would point north.
no they don't i have heard of them sending up a K9 (a dog ) and a monkey and also satellite dishes but that's about it!
Yes, there are people that still use the big satellite dishes. You can even buy them at www.ringolake.com/sat_dish/sat_main.html or www.skyvision.com/
Down in the Shacks Where the Satellite Dishes Grow was created in 1992.
No, satellite dishes are not obsolete and are still pretty popular with some people. the biggest problem with this type of TV service is the fees, credit checks, and installation costs that make it unpopular.
No.
The average size of a satellite dish is from 1.5 to 2 yards. Residential satellite dishes are usually smaller, while satellite dishes for commercial use tend to be larger.
DISH Network satellite dishes must face a certain direction in order to allow the dish to correctly align with the necessary satellite orbitals.

Yes, there are different shapes and sizes of satellite dishes. You can find the best one for your home at www.montanasatellite.com/satellite_dish_covers.htm
very.....big..:P
If you are referring to the original satellite dish known as the C band satellite, the satellite company that used these was DISH Network.
TVRO (Television Receive-Only) refers to satellite dishes used for receiving satellite television signals. These dishes are typically larger than DBS (Direct Broadcast Satellite) dishes and are commonly used for receiving programming from satellites located in geostationary orbit. TVRO systems were popular before the advent of smaller DBS dishes.
