keyboard and composed:

The white translucent thing is called an LNBF. It is the antenna part of
a satellite dish. The dish reflects the signal from the satellite into
the LNBF, and that moves it along to the receiver.

Since the dish also focuses sunlight onto the LNB (to some extent), I
wonder how hot it gets. I notice some LNBs have an operating
temperature range of -40C to +60C. If ambient is 40C, can the LNB
exceed its rated temp?
