A C-band dish is a colloquial name for a TVRO satellite dish used to receive satellite television signals from FSS-type satellites on the microwave C band. BUDs are usually 6 to 12 feet or two to 3.5 meters in diameter, and have been a source of much consternation due to their reputation as an eyesore. Neighborhoods with restrictive covenants usually prohibit this size of dish, except where restrictions are illegal.
