French term or phrase: assiette

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"?
