Think you might be referring to a Coptic antenna, mate.

Doesn't that one have an extra prong?
(More Middle Eastern worship transmission design.)

Besides, most of the more fundamentalist churches won't even let a
dipole in the door, let alone let them get married.

even pick up SBS TV.)

If the horizontal piece were in the form of what's known as a dipole
about 28cm long (that is, two adjacent collinear 14cm conductors) it
would in fact pick up SBS pretty well, given a good signal.
