Well, that's what they say anyway. I thought it was time to shake things up again. It appears they're putting a hyphen now, in the middle of "Dishtenna."
So I found the patent nobody could find before: https://www.google.com/patents/US8175515 . Though they say it was granted in 2010, the U.S. patent office says it was issued in May of 2012. It didn't appear in a google patent search for some months after that. Armed with the patent number, you can find it on the official patent office site, but the info is a little easier to see on Google's copy.
There is reference to (at least two) capacitive hats. I TRIED to tell you guys that might be a possibility way back in July of 2012 (proof: http://www.dtvusaforum.com/dtv-hdtv-reception-antenna-discussion/47304-antenna-recommendation.html post #29) but nooooooo, the experts preferred the flux capacitor theory. :becky:
It's basically just a patent on a way to convert a satellite dish to OTA operation. There's also an application for an international patent.
You can see some pretty pictures, and write ups on their executives here:
Leadership - DTV Green Dish
Searches on linkedin and elsewhere turn up little of interest on these leaders. They don't appear to be major players, but the company is looking for investors, and their executive summary appears to have some new claims, to wit:
"The Company’s patented technology and ensuing communication DTV Green Dish hybrid product has been successfully sold and tested in 143 different US locations and 26 states. The Company’s hybrid antenna is the only product with a range of at least twice as long as any competitor on the market today and can be easily installed by its end-user virtually anywhere due to its proprietary signal finder. It can penetrate most concrete walls and other substrates and can receive up to 100 channels and connect up to 8 televisions using one hybrid antenna. As opposed to DirecTV and Dish Network, the DTV Green Dish product has broadcast HD capabilities far superior to cable and satellite products and will never go out in rainstorms, hail storms or inclement weather.
The DTV Green Dish product, which is the first hybrid antenna ever developed, is multi-directional and can be easily adjusted and converted from directional to Omni directional in order to receive channels from multiple locations by utilizing its side lobes. Its Ultra Wide Band features provide the capabilities to receive multi-frequencies (50 to 800 Mhz and 800 Hmz to 3Ghz), as well as in the Super High Bands ranges for future application use such as cellular and Wi-Fi frequencies. The DTV Green Dish unique product is only 18 inches in diameter, made of heavy duty construction and built to DBS and military standards. All of its parts are manufactured exclusively, including its total packaging, with recycled materials."
I know "range" isn't a precisely scientific term, but I still think they could get into trouble with the claim "range of at least twice as long as any competitor on the market today."

If they can raise $5 million in capital, they expect to make $6 million+ in profits by year 3, though they projected a loss for year 1. Not sure if year 1 was 2012 or 2013.
