Amazing Photo in an Article About Satelllite Reception in Iran

[Muad'Dib]

Perhaps it is not directly related to Persian TV reception in the US, but it might be of interest to some.

There is an interesting article in the July 2006 issue of the Tele-Satellite magazine. It is on page 48 and is called "The Ups and Downs of Satellite Reception in Iran". There is an amazing photo of a skyline with satellite dishes everywhere an eye can see. More amazingly, it is in a country where satellite reception is illegal. I attached the photo, but please visit the linked site to read the full article.

Yeah, thats the point.
Probably they'll argue that they wanna collect water during the rain with that dishes......

Here is the new link to that issue of Tele-Satellite. I don't seem to be able to find links to archived magazines on their website. Have they removed them?

They seem to have kept only a handful of "vintage" issues from way back on the "About" page.

I am from Tehran, if you look at the picture carefully there are lots of dishes installed at the sides of the building, you can't see these in Tehran anymore. people try to put dishes in the center of the roof which can't be seen from the street. IT'S NOT TEHRAN. and another thing, how many units are there in that building, how many dishes. unless some units have put separate dishes for each room, you can't explain the number of the dishes, probably it's photoshop.

Look at the buttom right of the picture, neither the cars nor the shop signs are not iranian, don't want to discriminate but here based on that crowd in the buildings andwindow shades( you can't see those type of shades in beautiful Tehran), it's not Tehran.

Well if it was a photo of dishes in Tehran, they aren't there anymore. A quick Google search indicates that the dishes were smashed and equipment confiscated sometime in 2006.
