My friends mother is deeply concerned with TV satellite dishes...she is very paranoid around them...I need some backup from anyone who knows so that I can be sure...I told her it didn't but, I'm really not sure...I've been around them all my life and I'm doing just fine...Thanks!!

it's not to big to concentrate a lot of radio energy to harm health.
it's allowed by the fcc so why not trust them?
it's not like the dish is pointed at them.even it it is. the radio energy is focused on the antenna(about 1 foot from the dish)
edit: it's also just a receiver too so you are actually already "bathing" in a sea of radio waves. and if these radio waves are really harmful, the dishes actually shield youfrom the waves.it reflects the waves to it's front.

Ya certainly.
Electromagnetic waves effect our health. It may nt show immediate symptoms bt it effects body tissues slowly. It may cause mutations in d genetic material of cells. Mutations may effect d progeny.
It depends on d extent n times u r exposed 2 electromagnetic waves.
Heartbeat is specifically effected. There occors electrical disturbances in d pacemaker of d heart. May cause arrythemia.
Mobile phones r more dangerous than exposure of TV Sattelite dishes, bt both shud b avoided, as we can't stop.

It's just a receptor, not a reciever and transmitter like mobile phone towers. We have 3 on our roof and we're fine. However the health concerns come in if you sit or lie there all day watching telly and never get any exercise--especially if accompanied by serious snackage!

It's not only TV satellite dishes; it's the accumulation of all the electro-magnetic waves we're absorbing throughout the day, everyday. Not good for us.

no there is no chance of a sat dish killing you.normally they are put up on a roof so they are a good ways away from you.and they are light also so if one falls on you it wont hurt either.
