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.

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!

Sounds like some weird jungle animal from Madagascar.

There used to be a disguised dish on this website which was very similar:

Changing the subject slightly, on holiday in Lake Garda last month I was
astounded to see what seemed to be a standard TV aerial configuration
there. 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. See

for the hotel version. This on in Sirmione, hotel next to ours.

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.

Do two rectangrials equal one Bi-rectangrial?
