Flat Panel Antenna for C-band TVRO?

Posted by Cliff on from the ditching-the-dish dept.

Anonymous Coward asks: "Does Slashdot know of any anyone who makes a flat panel antenna for C-band Satellite TV? The only makers of commercial flat panel antennas that I'm aware of is this one, but it's only KU-band."

    About 20 years ago Radio-Electronics magazine had an article on building your own out of plywood. Really. It used concentric rectangles that worked as a sort of lens at those frequencies. Like microwave waveguides that somehow use empty spaces as antenna elements, the physics involved was way over my head.

    I see even classic Slashdot is now pretty much unusable on dial up anymore.
