How to Install Satellite Antennas, Tips

Satellite TV is becoming more and more popular among Russians. Many companies offer their services in this market. Choosing an operator and buying a kit, the consumer gets the following question: "And how do you install satellite dishes?". Of course, it is best to use the services of professionals in this case. After all, they will do everything not only faster, but also more qualitative, since they have, in addition to their experience in this field, special devices for tuning satellite dishes.

Although you can try to do it yourself. Initially, only a few points should be considered. First, satellite antennas are installed preferably on the south side. This is because the satellites are in the geostationary orbit, and are located from the south-east to south-west.

Secondly, there should not be any obstacles (high houses, trees, etc.) in the way of equipment. Many prefer to install antennas on the roofs of apartment buildings. However, it must first be coordinated with the rest of the tenants, since it is not allowed to install such equipment everywhere.

Speaking about how to install a satellite dish, it is worth noting that this process consists of several steps. First you need to fix the support. After that, you need to assemble the antenna itself. And already collected "plate" is put directly on the support. Of course, it's much easier to install the antenna piece by piece on the fasteners. However, as practice shows, this does not always give good results.

Connect the "plate" with the receiver using a cable and install the connectors only if the device is de-energized. After all, if you do not comply with this rule, you can accidentally disable it. More often manufacturers together with the equipment give the exact instruction on its assembly. It is advisable to adhere to these recommendations, since different instruments have differences among themselves.

Experts advise not to install satellite dishes alone. It is recommended to have an assistant who could insure. Installation of this equipment often requires physical strength and endurance. The most difficult technical point can be the guidance of the antenna on the satellite. It is very important to calculate the correct angle and azimuth. After all, even with a slight deviation, the reception signal may deteriorate several times.

Satellite antennas are attached to the wall bracket, which is pre-installed in the desired location. If it is not included, then most likely you will need to purchase separately. It is very important to check the design for strength before installing the "plate" itself. It must be remembered that the equipment will be exposed to natural factors.

Satellite antennas are increasingly found in large cities, and beyond, in rural areas. After all, this equipment allows to provide high quality images, and also gives a wide choice of channels of various profiles.
