Thread: How common are BUD's in your area?

Around here in Ct i haven't seen any BUD's in residential areas except a very few in the business districts.When searching local craigslist!non are to be found!only Small pizza dishes.Maybe its because cable and dish net and others all so available here in populated Ct.How about your area!Do you see many?

There are still many in the rural areas around where I live. Not a lot in the city itself, but then there never was.

I live in the metro detroit area and there are still many dishes to be found, there are at least ten that I know of within a mile radius. You will find them in older neighborhoods that dont have homeowners associations. So many are not used and the people just dont know how to get rid of them.

BUD's near the house? none except for mine
BUD's near the cabin? lots...a fair amount are still in use (very rural area)

I know of a few in my area. There's one across the road----1/2 mile, that's not being used. Another is on top of the bowling alley about 3 miles from me....doubt it's being used. I see very few FTA Ku dishes around me at all. I'm the only one around me with a working system....Blind

Around my area i see about 9 new 10 footers up on Latino bars and restaurants .

I live in rural lower SC and still see them everywhere -- especially on property which has been abandoned. But most are fiberglass.

Most of the dishes in nicer kept yards were removed years ago. I still like to keep my eyes open when I'm driving around.

Same here (in SW MO), literally hundreds within 50 miles of our place, but a large percentage are fiberglass.

For real? Why is that, I mean that's great news.
