Play on words. None of those dishes look at "Satellites" much less receive a video broadcast.

Based on quality of typical commercial TV shows we receive from satellites, I'd opt for communicating with aliens, if these would allow.

I could spend some interesting hours just staring at that West Virginia dish.

"...A large center hub provides spacious accommodation..."
For what it probably costs, it better allow me to live in it.

I've decided what to buy when I win the lottery. That, or one of the giant sort-of-rectangular dishes I've seen behind Comcast and Cox.

9.0meter dish "Designed for 1.5 to 31 GHz operation"
I Wonder what is on 31ghz... also noticed they said the 21m dish had 'interchangeable parts'. I would HOPE so lol.
