Installing a Satellite Dish Antenna

Installing a Satellite Dish Antenna


There exist two main satellite Tv providers in the Us: Dish Network and DirecTv. Dish Network manufactures its own tool and you will have to use it if you want to receive their programming. DirecTv allows you to use tool form any separate manufacturers, giving you more freedom of choice. However, no matter which victualer you choose, you will all the time need a satellite- compatible Tv, a receiver and a satellite dish antenna. Most providers will consist of professional installation with their packages. This makes things a lot easier . While you can install all yourself if you want to, in most cases it is best to let a professional deal with everything.

Still, if you have some technical skills and like these kind of things, you can install the satellite antenna by yourself. Besides the actual antenna you will need some parts and tools to install it. A Rg-6 cable is required, as are coaxial cable connectors, grounding tool and weather sealant.

Pointing your dish antenna is very foremost if you want to receive a good signal. This signal may come from one or more satellites, depending on the satellite dish you are using. It will be easier to correctly position your dish with one satellite and becomes more fascinating the more signals are used.

Satellite Tv technicians use two things to determine either there is a clear line to the satellite: azimuth (which means left to right) and elevation (up and down). You can normally get the required angles from your satellite Tv victualer or by using one of the online services that exist for this.
