Very interesting Cobber. I'm curious what the pointing requirements are.
I think I've seen others, but larger.

indeed,

how do you point it,

& how is the LNB focused ?

Cool looking antenna I guess you just point it the LNB is fixed within.

I like the look of this....what would the reception be like?

They are certainly interesting. They can also be painted to match your house and you could also probably get around body corporate rules on dishes with one of these.

i have seen this sort of thing before. I think it is an array of phased dipoles. Used in Japan where signals are huge and space limited.

Over the years I have seen many flat dish manufacturers come and go. It’s impossible to produce a phase array flat antennas for the cost of pressing a metal dish and LNB. Selling for 50$

Is the cosmetic benefit worth 319$?

Draw your own conclusions.

does it work ??

If you just built a new home or have the money it's all about the look now days I guess

They are great for vehicles and vans etc low profile less drag and easier setup when roof or rack mounted I believe it is what aircraft have installed.
