Half the households in Iran have an illegal satellite dish on the roof to receive disallowed TV from abroad.
This is punishable and does get punished (rarely, I hear). Doesn't deter anyone.
Edit: it will also be quite difficult to detect electronically, judging by the fact that even Russia fails to jam these signals on the battlefield.
- modeless 4y agoSatellite TV dishes don't transmit. Jamming and detection are very different.
- keyme 4y agoTV dishes transmit very clearly in the visible light spectrum :) As for TX detection, you'd be surprised. Directional signals like starlink uplink are fairly hard to detect.
- imwillofficial 4y agoAs a submarine comms expert, this is more true than you might realize.
- walrus01 4y agoOne needs to only google "iran satellite dish confiscation" to see the low tech methods used. They occasionally go on binges of confiscating and destroying receive-only tv satellite dishes.
