Learning notes
Explanation
This compound combines จาน (“dish” or “plate”) with ดาวเทียม (“satellite”), reflecting the antenna’s dish-like shape. It most often refers to a satellite television dish, though in some contexts it can loosely include the associated receiving equipment. It can be counted with จาน, as in จานดาวเทียมหนึ่งจาน (“one satellite dish”).
Usage
Commonly used when discussing satellite television, installing or adjusting an antenna, and troubleshooting poor reception. It is also the ordinary term for the dish-shaped antenna seen on a roof or exterior wall.
Caution
This does not refer to antennas in general. Use เสาอากาศทีวี for a regular television antenna and เสาอากาศ as the broader word for “antenna.” ดาวเทียม by itself means “satellite,” not “satellite dish.”
