Looks and sounds like a strange landlord, I had to take a look at this as I have installed many satellite dishes in my time but mostly communications ones not for TV

His dad installed this giant before passing on. The house was the dad's since the 1950's and could have been so nice. But instead it was crazy town.
sure sounds like crazy town, like everything even satellite dishes do not need to be that big anymore
To get a decent C Band signal you do. Thats also where the major networks process backhauls. Basically deciding what your going to see and hear on the news. www.lyngsat.com also SatBeams https://satbeams.com/
Yes thats a good point, I was thinking or meaning more for home reception rather than major backhaul setups and here in the states, these are still common in other countries as well
I have lost count of how many C and KU band dishes i installed in various countries over the years in the field, but that was mainly on our leased transponders for voice and data and a few years back
I enjoy scanning the various birds for data and free entertainment. As well as news that has just happened, before censors distort it, or simply bury it. A well positioned set of C and Ku Band satelite dishes is the best way to see the world without leaving home. Al Jazeera and RT are two of my favorites for "the other side of the story".
I used to do the same when in the field and there were not any local TV stations

some cool info on there, back when I was setting up Earth Stations we didn't have all this sort of info so easily available
I still have a few of those gigantic Earth Station Recievers. along with some DTV and BEV equipment and older Globecast systems, with dishes, all new.
thats cool you still have them
yes. A freind of mine buys out storage units and its full of satelite lnbs, recievers, switches, tons of stuff. there about a dozen or so "amino" STB's in the mix. Also transmitting lnbs new it the box. The earth stations look like they are rack mounted and have parralell ports on them. about 18 inch cube with brown metal cover.
That’s cool I do kind of miss my days in the field setting up earth stations and other telecom equipment
Climbing the towers I don’t miss so much
