Wireless satellite dish.

[coinmaster32]

This is an idea I came up with today.

Instead of the signal of the satellite dish being wired to every receiver....the satellite dish is powered with 21 volts (like SWM).

The power would not be from a receiver, but an power adapter.

The lnb receives the satellite signal, and converts it into a microwave signal. The microwave antenna would be on top of the dish.

The microwave signal could be sent to any satellite receiver in the house ELIMINATING the need for wiring each satellite receiver.

But why stop there. A powerful enough microwave antenna could be used to provide Directv or Dishnetwork to a small neighborhood, can you imagine the ease this would bring to installers?

It does not sound all that practical to me---especially ina neighborhood with several dishes.

lol, you would have to transmit all polarities and satellites at the same time.

would it make popcorn too? or just fry the cat?

That is a thought I could just leave a bag of popcorn on the roof and watch it pop. It would certainly amuse the neighbor kids.

I think this is a great idea if it was a low power mirowave signal to only one dish. You can get around the rules that said you can't drill holes through walls.

One of the reasons SWM was invented was so existing cable wiring can be used thus not needing to drill.

The idea is great but it might be impractical.

I would seriously wonder about the potential health risks involved. You'd certainly have the tin foil hat crowd out proclaiming its dangers.

Good idea...not sure if it will work tho
