Dishes are passive devices; they are not powered by anything but incoming RF
energy.

Items sold as dishes include amplifers.

A good start would be to learn the difference between a dish,
LNB, and receiver.

A good start on what?

I'm not really interested in an electronics lesson. I just want to
know what voltage would power the amplifier on the VHF/UHF antenna
that surrounds the dish. The manual says it uses the same voltage
that dish does, or something like that. Maybe you can write the
manual's author.

I'll go with one of the helpful answers.
