The "dish" is flat, but it's a good 3 foot diameter and about 6 inches tall. That works with Directv, but can be ordered to accommodate Dish Network too.
We mounted one to the roof of a Superduty and it worked very well.
I wouldn't be too surprised to see hi-def capable overhead screens and monitors in the next year or so. The tuner is what needs the fix, the antenna doesn't need to change at all since HiDef is all VHF. It's just changing the tuner from an NTSC unit to an ATSC unit.
