Hey folks,
I’ve enjoyed my first visit in Cyprus a lot. It’s such a beautiful place, especially when you leave the tourist centres.
Now here is my question: I noticed large satellite dishes on many of the buildings, hotels, commercial buildings and residential houses.
Can you explain what they are for?

They’re older C-band antennas, which are (or were) mainly used for TV reception.
Those MFs bring corona and 5G so please burn the to the ground if get the change with some karvouna pirsos>! /s!<

It’s the Americans spying on us
Big dish means more surface for receiving weak signals. Because Cyprus is located southeast of the Europe, it is outside of the beams of most European satellites. Before the use of IPTV and the introduction of fast internet connections, reception of UK and European TV channels was only possible with big satellite dishes.
In addition the large population from UK and growth of tourism in recent years, created a local market for large satellite dishes.
Back in the day (like, 2000ish) people got these big dishes so they could get UK Sky TV services. You needed a big dish because the satellites were in the wrong place, and a UK address to use for billing, but it worked. Not sure if they’re good for anything nowdays.
