How to set up a satellite dish yourself

Information technology is currently striking at a rapid pace of development, giving more and more opportunities to modern man. Despite the gradual development of Internet television, satellite broadcasting remains the number one priority in terms of popularity and quality of broadcasting, because it can give a clear picture of the digital image at any time of the day or night. That's why many people think about how to set up a satellite dish and whether it's possible to do it yourself. The answer here will be affirmative, since it is quite accessible to every person, provided a careful study of the technology for setting up satellite equipment.

So, first of all, remember that the most popular satellites that are currently broadcasting 73 Russian-language channels are Sirius, Amos and Hotbird. The main advantage of installing a dish is its price, because sooner or later you will fully pay for the cost of satellite equipment. After all, most television channels are broadcast without the coding and therefore completely free.

How to set up a satellite dish, and what is needed for this? To cover this issue, let's start with a set of a standard set of satellite dishes:

1. Mirror (dish) - serves to receive a signal from the satellite, and can have dimensions from 60 to 129 cm in diameter.
2. Converter - is a device for transcoding the signal to the frequency with which the following device - the receiver works.
3. DVC - Receiver - directly receives the decoded signal from the converter and transfers it to your digital device (TV, plasma and so on). In addition, DiSEq (disec) is also included in the standard package, a device for connecting several converters into a single unit, as well as cables and brackets. And, of course, you should not forget about the quality fastening devices, with which you will need to direct the dish to the satellite in the south-west direction.

There are many manuals where you can find the answer to the question how to set up the satellite dish yourself, but if you analyze many of them, then all the work can be reduced to several stages:

1. Preparing the equipment for installation. At this stage, according to the instructions, you collect the plate itself, attaching brackets and all other technical parts to it. Here it is important to pay attention to the fact that you must carefully attach the "F" cable to the connector located at the bottom of the dish on the receiver. Opening the lid, we find there a screen in which there will be several connectors, one of which installs a cable. After that, the converters are connected to the disassembly, which, in turn, is attached via a special connector to the receiver.

1. How to set up a satellite dish to receive a good and high quality signal? Now we proceed to the most critical part of the entire operation - the satellite dish settings. So, we set the reception frequency for the Sirius satellite, for which we set the speed of 27500 in the receiver, the frequency 11766 with the polarization "H". The receiver has two reception bands - red and yellow. The first shows the connection of the dish and the signal level. The yellow bar determines the quality of the signal. Usually immediately after the connection, the last red bar shows a signal somewhere at the level of 35-40%, and the yellow one approaches zero. After that, it remains to adjust the signal quality by turning the dish to find the most acceptable position for the signal. You should turn the dish with the receiver adjustment until the signal quality increases to 65-70%, which will guarantee you a quality image in any weather. Thus, how to set up a satellite dish tricolor, we now know. To further amplify the signal, adjust the side convectors with the appropriate frequencies (Amos - frequency 10722, polarization "H", 10 speed 27500, for Hotbird frequency 11034, polarization "V", speed 27500). After that, press the SCAN key on the receiver, and the system will automatically find and store for you all possible channels.

Now the question of how to set up a satellite dish is not difficult for us, because knowing the installation features of the entire system, you can make the right adjustment yourself.

Happy viewing!
