French term

assiette

French to English Tech/Engineering Telecom(munications) television
From a 'cahier de charges', talking about shared television:

"La télédistribution se fera par satellite individuellement pour chaque villa. Les assiettes seront placées dans les jardins"

Could this possibly be referring to satellite dishes? Why would they not use "paraboles"?
Proposed translations (English)

Thank you Catherine.
agree Tony M : Likely to be an original mis-translation of 'dishes', or else they are a different, flatter array type (cf. old BSB 'squariels')
