Zone 2 (57cm) minidish

TheMinidish is the tradename used for the small-sizedsatellite dish used byFreesat andSky. The term has entered the vocabulary in the UK and Ireland as ageneric term for a satellite dish, particularly small ones.[citation needed]

The Minidish is an oval,mesh satellite dish capable of reflecting signals broadcast in the upperX band andKu band. Two sizes exist:

  • "Zone 1" dishes are issued in southern and Northern England and parts of Scotland and were 43 cm vertically prior to 2009; newer mark 4 dishes are approximately 50 cm
  • "Zone 2" dishes are issued in elsewhere (Wales, Northern Ireland, Republic of Ireland, Scotland and northern England), which are 57 cm vertically.

The Minidish uses a non-standard connector for theLNB, consisting of a peg about 4 cm (1.6 in) in width and 7.5 mm (0.30 in) in height prior to the mark 4 dishes introduced in 2009, as opposed to the 40 mm collar.[clarification needed] 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 ovalfeedhorn is required to get full signal.[1]
