How long does a satellite dish tend to last?

How long does a satellite dish tend to last? Can it be prolonged indefinitely with maintenance and repair work over time or will it eventually be diminished beyond the point of usability?

"On average, your satellite dish should last around 10-15 years. However, certain conditions can affect this. For example, whoever installed it last, may have installed it poorly so it may not last long."

"It is usually the LMB that fails rather than the dish. An LMB can last on average between 3-7 years however some can last a lot longer."

"Hi, from personal experience I would say the actual dish itself is around 10/15 years depending on where you live and how bad it gets weathered, you sometimes might have to replace the LNB on the end of the dish once or twice during that time."
