WHAT DOES MINIDISH MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Minidish

The Minidish is the tradename used for the small-sized satellite dish used by Freesat and Sky Digital. The term has entered the vocabulary in the UK and Ireland as a generic term for a satellite dish, particularly small ones. The Minidish is an oval, mesh satellite dish capable of reflecting signals broadcast in the upper X band and Ku band. Two sizes exist: ▪ "Zone 1" dishes are issued in southern England and were 43 cm vertically prior to 2009; newer mark 4 dishes are approximately 50 cm ▪ "Zone 2" dishes are issued in elsewhere, which are 57 cm vertically. The Minidish uses a non-standard connector for the LNB, consisting of a peg about 4 cm in width and 7.5 mm in height prior to the mark 4 dishes introduced in 2009, as opposed to the 40 mm collar. This enforces the use of Sky-approved equipment, but also ensures that a suitable LNB is used. Due to the shape of the dish, an LNB with an oval feedhorn is required to get full signal.
