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.

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

It's not Tehran
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.

Awesome, how people try to show it's Tehran, look at the buttom right!!ARABIC country
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.

So if satellite is illegal there, how do they watch TV? is it regular OTA? Or do they have to subscribe to cable??

Wait. Stop the press. Just found out, the OP picture is from Damascus, Syria. I am 100% sure about it.
Top left hand side is the president's palace. Top middle is "Jabal (mount) Qasyoun" No wonder, this is a city of 7 million people. BTW, it is illigal to own a satellite dish in Syria as well. But, this law is not enforced.

It could have been an un-intentional mistake on the part of the magazine.

The article is a country report on Iran. The picture is explicitely labeled "A look into one of the housing areas in Tehran: nearly every home is connected to a dish either on balcony or on roof ". So, it is not just a background picture to illustrate a typical satellite equipment penetration in a mid-Eastern country. If you label your picture like that, you better have good reasons for that. If you can't verify your sources, you shouldn't publish it. It sounds like someone was after a quick buck or trying to sensationalize the topic. They say a picture is worth a thousand words, and I was certainly mislead by it. I hope the magazine publisher sees this discussion and explains what is happening and/or draws conclusions.
