Can I make a satellite antenna easily?

Answer 1

You can without great difficulty, however it will never be as effective as a commercially bought dish. Since they are made in such great quantities these days, they can be bought for cheap. You can usually find them for free if you look hard enough.

Still if you insist on building your own, check out this guy's home built satellite dish, made out of an old umbrella. Can you say, ET Phone Home?

Answer 2

Why not spend the $35 and buy one? Much easier and less time consuming.
