A satellite TV dish picks up the signals from the satellites that
broadcast satellite television. Upon installation, your dish will need
to be ‘aimed’ at a satellite for it to receive a signal and in the
USA this means the dish needs to be directed to the south.
Essentially a satellite dish is simply a surface that reflects a vague
signal to a specific point in a similar manner to the way the human eye
operates. A receiver, known as a ‘feed horn’ is placed at the point
where the signals come together, and it is this pure signal that
eventually becomes the picture.
Today’s satellite dishes are somewhat more subtle than those that were
available with the introduction of satellite television. Dishes are
usually provided as part of the package that you sign up to, although
there may be a choice of more than one type. Your choice will be
determined by deciding which services you will take advantage of, so it
is worth trying to think ahead and predict what you might need within
the next twelve months from your service. For instance, DirecTV offer
two dishes, of which only one offers DIRECTV PARA TODOS™ programming
or High Definition programming.
Most satellite providers in the United States provide installation as
part of the package, however if you live in a rural part of the country,
you might have to hire a professional installer from your area or
install the system yourself. Although installing the equipment yourself
is relatively straightforward (help, tips and diagrams are available on
the websites of all US satellite TV providers), it is recommended that
you hire a professional. They are not so expensive these days and might
mean that you won’t have a problem later on. It is worth bearing in
mind that the warranty on the system may not be valid if you do not opt
for a professional installation. This alone could be worth paying for if
installation is not already provided for free.
Residents of apartment buildings should seek advice from their Home
Owners Association with regard to installing a dish on their particular
block. It is possible
to install a satellite dish inside your home, but you will need to make
sure that there is a direct line of sight to the south through a window
in order to pick up a signal. Although it is not ideal to have a dish in
your living room, it is a possible way to get around HOA difficulties,
but you should be aware that many types of glass will degrade the
satellite signal.
