Can you turn the antenna to ___ insert satellite name ___ ?

For context

where I grew up, almost every immigrant houshold had a satellite antenna, to watch channels across the world. Since my parents were immigrants, we had to turn the antenna each time we wanted to watch either local news or news from our country of origin.

“Antenna”? Don’t you mean “dish”?

Yes I know that dish antennas are antennas, but I’ve never heard of anyone calling them just “antennas”.

yeah… dish … thank you …

English isn’t my first language, and I never used that word in a sentence to remember it.
