Satellite tv installation tips




















You must disconnect the wires going to the dish for this test to be valid. If it turns when you change channels and does not drift or buzz when you are not changing channels, that tells you that the receiver and servo motor are working properly and the problem is likely to be noise being pick up by your unshielded pulse line.

The only way to correct this problem is to make sure that the pulse line is shielded and the shield is grounded at one end. You need to replace it.

We hope this information was helpful. If you can't solve your polarity problem after following the instructions and tips above, we recommend calling out your local satellite dealer to troubleshoot the system further. Dishes range in size from inch to inch x inch. However, more than the shape or size, the real significant difference between the various types of dishes relates to the number of LNBs, and the number of supported outputs.

Typical satellite dishes can vary from the simple inch dish with a single dual LNB this is a two LNB configuration affixed at a small offset angle in a single housing , to five LNBs and four outputs, with each of these LNBs pointing to a different satellite orbit. The number of outputs on the dish determines the number of digital satellite receivers that can be connected to that dish to watch different programs on different TVs simultaneously; in this respect, a quad output dish supports up to four different receivers.

If you want to hook up more receivers than your dish can accommodate, you will have to use a multi-switch to split up the satellite feed without compromising signal quality. Some multi-switches allow you to add over-the-air broadcasts or cable feeds, and send both signals to each viewing area via a single coax cable. In this case, you will need a diplexer for each viewing area to split up the signals again. As indicated earlier on, broadcast signals from satellites are split in two different polarizations, and these are differentiated at the LNB.

If signals with different polarization were sent over the cable at the same time, they would interfere with each other.

A multi-switch works by taking the input from a dual LNB on the dish and then locks one of the LNB's to always look at the even transponders while the other LNB to always look at the odd transponders on the satellite. The switch then has multiple outputs to receivers. A receiver connected to a multi-switch sends a switching signal back up the coax cable to enable the switch to select the correct LNB it needs to look at.

In the case of multiple 'dual LNBs', the process is the same except that now, each of the LNBs will be looking at a different satellite.

If you don't remember when your dish was installed or if you're just not sure that it is a 5-LNB, take a look at your dish and see if it matches either one of the DirecTV satellite dish. If not, you will have to order a new dish. With the slightly smaller inch, you can only pick either one of these satellite slots. To receive all available DISH Network channels, including all high definition local and national channels from a single satellite dish, you need an MPEG-4 compatible dish antenna.

Note: Deciding on the required number of LNBs, shape and size of your satellite dish, depends on a number of factors, including the area where you live, service provider, and programming package selected. This is something that is best decided after you speak with your digital satellite TV service provider.

Dish Installation Process Now that you have made the plunge and purchased a satellite dish, you need to get that satellite TV antenna up so you can receive all the channels! The relatively small size of present day digital satellite TV dish antenna systems means that these may be practically fixed just about anywhere.

In particular, these compact satellite dishes are especially suitable for city dwellers. While you may choose to have your new satellite dish installed by a professional, yet the actual installation process is not difficult to do. The only real difficulty that may arise in the process is when aiming the dish to get the best signal from the satellites. This is a crucial step and it is this step which may warrant professional assistance.

Remember that the satellite dish is your main link to those satellites floating around in space, so it has to be aimed properly to pick up the signals. Some self-installation kits may be of assistance in this respect. Selecting the best location for your Satellite Dish First, you have to decide on the exact location where best to install your satellite dish. There are a few issues that you need to take into account here. Considerations shall include: Remember that DSS satellites are in a geo-stationary orbit above the equator.

Therefore, a satellite dish must point due South when your position is located north of the equator and North if you are located south of the equator. Choose a location that is easily accessible in case you need to clean snow or debris out of your satellite dish, or to re-adjust the dish in case it has lost its alignment. A suitable location is to attach the dish to a post which has been sunken in the ground.

The chosen location should be unobstructed by trees, branches, buildings, telephone lines, clotheslines, electrical wires, power lines, radio and television towers, etc. All are possible sources of interference. In other words, there must be no obstructions between the dish site and the satellites in the sky. Once you determines that the location is suitable, you will have to decide on a permanent or portable installation. Unless you fell you will be relocating in the near future or you are living on rental property, a permanent installation in concrete is the better way to go.

In addition, make sure that the growth of new foliage does not impede your system. Ideally, the selected location should be such as to allow you to take a route that is as straight and as close to your television set as possible.

Finally, refer to the included instructions for any specific details. Choose a method of installation that allows your system to withstand the elements year-round and still remain perfectly aligned and rigidly mounted.

Remember that system movement can reduce signal reception to the point of complete loss. Always do a trial run on the ground for coax cable installation from the satellite dish to the place where it will enter your house. Make sure it is long enough to reach both points. Check connections and hardware until satisfied.

Securely tighten the coax connectors along each cable where ever they appear with a wrench, starting at the TV, receiver, multiswitch and ending at the ground block or dish. Do not over-tighten. Yes No. Not Helpful 0 Helpful 2. It should work on either Channel 3 or 4. Not Helpful 1 Helpful 1. Where can I buy a cable cord when I want to move the TV to a different location in the house?

Most department, hardware, or electronics stores will sell coax cables in different sizes Lowe's, Home Depot, Target, Walmart, Best Buy, etc. Not Helpful 2 Helpful 1. DirecTV and Dish Network generally "switch" signals in and out of the coax cable in their hardware but use different technologies from each other to do so. Regardless of brand or style, make sure all equipment is suitable for use outdoors if it is to be installed outdoors. Not Helpful 0 Helpful 0. You can add UTP network-cabled traffic to an existing coaxial cable near a router and then split it off the coaxial cable to an UTP network cable near the point of use with "MoCA" equipment.

Coax cable strippers of the type that allow for adjusting for different cable types make stripping the cable for an "F" connector easy. Helpful 0 Not Helpful 1. Install diplexers anywhere on any cable directly connected to a multiswitch that has an antenna or CATV feed connected to "extract" the antenna or CATV signal where needed.

Helpful 0 Not Helpful 0. Obtain the correct "F" connector for the cable installed. RG6 and RG6QS "F" connectors look almost identical, but when mismatched will make installing the connector very difficult - impossible. This provides two full bandwidth signal paths over one cable assembly and is recommended since the same labor is required installing it as opposed to a single RG6 or RG6QS.

Use high quality "F" connectors for cable ends. The older crimp types are OK for indoor connections, but the compression type offer superior fit for use outdoors to keep water out. Unfortunately, the "F" connectors and compression tool are more costly than the crimp type.

DTV is currently testing a "single wire" install. The results look promising but is not available at this time. When it does become available, it will probably be from DTV's installers exclusively. Submit a Tip All tip submissions are carefully reviewed before being published. NEVER install "splitters" on satellite feed coax cables.

Multiswitches are the satellite equivalent of CATV "splitters" and are not interchangeable. Helpful 1 Not Helpful 0. DESq switches are a multiswitch for use on Dish Network satellite systems. They are incompatible with a Direct TV system and must not be used. Locate the multiswitch near a volt outlet, as some require power for internal amplifiers.

Good evening. I thought the position for Startimes satellite is west as I have been observing.

Startime position is located at Astra at 5e, using frequency H If you still have problem with the installation feel free to leave comment behind. I installed my mytv after showing the green signal some stations are not showing yet.. Like my TV promo. I used another dish to configure the receiver. After connected the coaxial cable from your dish to the LNB, then proceed to use blindscan to get all the channels on the position point your dish.

Great day to you, please I try setting strong dish, but at the end, all the channels that shows are non Nigeria channel, what should I do and what is the location for strong decoder. Free to air.
