Imagine the size of attenuator needed!

@Captain Jack, is this your own shot?

It is, from 2018.

Tanum Teleport, not in operation anymore as far as I know...
I passed by some 12-13 years ago...

From the LIRR train on the way to Jamaica station behind the Home Depot ... Astound / Long Island City.

Gotta be a load of big dishes scattered around the Canary Islands for UK tv reception that are now no longer needed, destoying the asthetics of the property they were bolted on.

 

[Satfaca]

The only thing I disagree on is the aesthetics.

Looks like they have heaters on the back? A solid construction nevertheless.

 

[Satfaca]

Must be some vintage stuff ... but still in use in Castellldefels/CAT/ES.

Folks, I just spotted this 1/2 of 4.6m Andrew in my backyard. Yes, it is going down after 10 years in operation. All the aluminum parts are going to scrap-yard next week. Will try to adopt the mount for installing additional solar panels to get more green energy. I am really sorry to go this way.

Oh, that was Your best antenna. I have 3M to 28E, of course not enough for UK beam. But if You are at signal border area, it is fluctuating a lot. IPTV is better. To adding solar panels to this stand is also not good idea. I have more than 100 panels and can say direction is not most important but the count is.

 

[RimaNTSS]

I have more than 100 panels

I am also not really a beginner in solar.... have 41 panels installed already (looking for more). Generated more than 2MWh last month.

Honestly, even if you are not using it, I would have kept it as a statue.

It will be kept as working antenna by another member of this forum. Hopefully he will succeed, I wish him luck.

I was in PULA , croatia for holidays and found this dish.

 

[Satfaca]

Pure cable mess ... should be organized like this.

 

[astra19]

A bit different. From the Museum of Extinct Media in Tokyo. A TV remote that covers every satellite channel. From 2021!

 

[deeptho]

Pretty cool. I bet it can even be used when the batteries are flat as you can probably use it as a stick to press buttons on the receiver,
