The Dish
''The Dish'' is a 2000 Australian historical drama, historical comedy-drama film that tells the story of the Parkes Observatory's role in relaying live television of humanity's first steps on the Moon during the Apollo 11 mission in 1969. It was the top-grossing Cinema of Australia, Australian film in 2000. Plot An old man drives up to the Parkes Observatory, Parkes Radio Telescope to admire the dish. A technician gently cautions him that he has driven in through "the old entrance" and is therefore trespassing. Requesting that the man leave immediately, the technician encourages him to visit the observatory's nearby visitor centre and take the tour, as the dish has seen some amazing times. The old man thoughtfully agrees. The movie flashes back to July, 1969, days before the launch of Apollo 11.

The Dish (landmark)
The Stanford Dish, known locally as the Dish, is a radio antenna in the Stanford foothills. The dish was built in 1961 by the Stanford Research Institute (now SRI International). The cost to construct the antenna was $4.5 million, and was funded by the United States Air Force. In the 1960s the Dish was used to provide information on Soviet radar installations by detecting radio signals bounced off the moon. Later on, the Dish was used to communicate with satellites and spacecraft. With its unique bistatic range radio communications, where the transmitter and receiver are separate units, the powerful radar antenna was well-suited for communicating with spacecraft in regions where conventional radio signals may be disrupted. At one point, the Dish transmitted signals to each of the Voyager craft that NASA dispatched into the outer reaches of the Solar System. In 1982 it was used to rescue the amateur radio satellite An amateur radio satellite is an artificial satellite b ...

The Dish (TV Series)
''The Dish'' is an American satirical television series that aired on the Style Network. The show premiered on August 16, 2008, hosted by Danielle Fishel, skewers the latest in pop culture (television, movies, magazines, celebrities, etc.) in similar fashion to sister network E! Entertainment Television's series ''The Soup''. The show also aired on International E! channels alongside ''The Soup''. The show's final episode aired March 20, 2011, two months after the merger of NBCUniversal and Comcast was completed. The merger had brought former competitors Bravo and Oxygen under common NBCUniversal ownership with Style, nullifying much of the video material available to ''The Dish'', as many Bravo and Oxygen programs under NBC's ownership apart from Style had been used for satirical purposes for the show. Format As with ''The Soup'', the show primarily consists of Fishel providing humorous commentary on content (such as clips of television programs), arranged in themed segments. U ...
