===Modern equivalents===
Large [[parabolic antenna]]s similar to BUDs are still in production. New dishes differ in their construction and materials. New mesh dishes have much smaller perforations and solid dishes are now made with [[steel]] instead of fiberglass. New systems usually include a universal LNB that is switched electronically between horizontal and vertical polarization, obviating the need for a failure-prone polar rotor. As a complete system they have a much lower noise temperature than old BUDs, and are generally better for digital K<sub>u</sub> reception. The prices of these dishes have fallen dramatically since the first BUDs were produced for several thousand dollars to as little as $200 for an 8&nbsp;ft mesh started BUD sold on eBay or amazon as of 2014.<ref>[http://sadoun.com/Sat/Products/Fortec-Star/Dishes/FS6P-180P-CM-C-Ku-Prime-Focus-Dish-Polar-Mount.htm 6.5' Fortec Star with Polar Mount]</ref> Typical uses for these systems include receiving free-to-air and subscription services.
