Don't recall seeing many of these previously. TV? Internet?

I've seen a few of them around. I don't know what they're used for.

It looks like a broader than high multifeed dish, with dish skewed?
A bit unclear on the photo, though.

Looks like it's got 3 LNBF's on the square dish, when zooming in.

Yes, here is (hopefully) a better shot:

Might be 2 Ku and one Ka band LNBF'S, that's my best guess!

Looks maybe like DISH's commercial antenna.

I have never seen those in my entire life!

The commercial dishes I've seen Dish use are just 90cm dishes, some with heating pads on them. Maybe HipKat knows?

That's it! But it doesn't say what size?

But it doesn't say what size?

And it doesn't say what opening angle / what needed illumination angle for the LNB. So a normal Ku LNB might not be optimal.

I've seen this kind of toroidal multifeed dishes with 'not normal' f/D ratios...

I designed a system with one of those dishes, although I wasn't present for the install. There were specific kits for Western and Eastern arc.
