Flat panel satellite dish
Does anyone have any knowledge or experience the effectiveness of this 'dish' http://www.amazon.co.uk/Satellite-Di...bs_528563031_5 Purely from a looks viewpoint it may help us get around our no dishes or external aerials problem. -- rbel |

It will be a phased array antenna, like the BSB Squarial, which was introduced in the 1990s to try and get round the limits on permitted developments, with regard to aerials, in the planning rules. Probably better described as a rectangrial! |

There used to be a disguised dish on this website which was very similar: http://www.digicams-uk.com/category20_1.htm -- Michael Chare |

And also in the wider part of north Italy; seen in Milan, Verona, Venice and their environs. A tall pole with dish at the bottom (often squarials - that's where they all went!) and UHF & VHF aerials.

Yes, but presumably, it therefore has only its own lnb wired to the array,
so can it actually handle the polarity switching, and is there any way to make it have more than one output at a time, or does one need to rectangrials!

Actually very common all over Europe - France, Belgium, Germany, Italy as far as I've seen. I can never understand why, when people go to the trouble of putting a structure up to take aerials in this country they don't put the dish up there as well. Equally if it were up to me I would ban dishes being mounted on the front of houses where the roof is a shallow enough angle for the dish to be on a pole on the back - they are such a blight. -- Woody harrogate three at ntlworld dot com |

Apart from the legal/rights/conservation area/covenants issue we would not really want to install a standard satellite dish that did not blend with its surroundings. The property is in a woodland area with adjacent public pathways. We have relied on Freeview ever since we moved here but the trees between us and the transmitter are still growing and the signal now breaks up whenever we are on the receiving end of anything more than a strong breeze, causing reception problems. Luckily there is a tree free 'window' between 15 and 40 degrees east of south of the property which could theoretically allow for Freesat reception. -- rbel |

I've seen more then the one dish fitted to listed buildings and the like but they have been done very well and very carefully so as not to be noticed.
