    Amazing Photo in an Article About Satelllite Reception in Iran

    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.

    And imagine it is against the law to have a satellite dish in Iran. So I guess that law is not enforced. If they have to enforce it, they will have to cite the whole population.

    Interesting.

    Most dishes in the Bangkok picture a C-band as opposed to Ku-band in Tehran.

    Also, I APPEARS that the signal from each dish in Bangkok may be distributed to multiple apartments. I don't think that's the case in Iran.

    That's one surprizing conclusion I drew from the Tehran picture: Wouldn't you think that adding a multi-switch would be simpler than installing a whole new dish? Although a good multiswitch probably costs more than a cheapie dish/LNB combo.

    Ya.. doesn't look the same as in Tehran did...

    Those are Larger ..and on roof-tops (instead of individual suites as in Iran) .. those, like stated above, more likely provide signal to the multiple apartments / offices in each building, etc
