Ugly is POV[edit]
How about Big Beautiful dish? Or Big Gorgeous Dish? Prods aside; the term "ugly" is undeniably POV and needs to be dealt with. C-Band Satellite Dish may be a more appropriate title. If none object, I'll move and rename.

- Sure, it might be POV, but this has been the colloquialism (with no pejorativity intended, mainly the term is not to be taken too seriously) that C-band dishes have been referred to for years (I remember seeing it mentioned on Usenet news years ago, in fact, the same articlew I read there, someone proposed the term could also mean "Beautiful Useful Dish" :) ). So it would be somewhat absurd, IMHO, to rename the article just because it seems non-POV, or non-PC, or what have you. Just my $0.02, though. misternuvistor (talk) 18:21, 14 March 2009 (UTC)
