You will need to adjust the dish for both vertical and horizontal alignment. To set up your Freeview box: Plug your aerial lead into the circular aerial socket at the back of your Freeview box. Turn your TV on using your TV remote control. Switch your Freeview box on. You're now ready to start tuning. If you have a satellite dish mounted to the roof or the side of your house, it is able to be used as an external television antenna. This will allow you to receive digital broadcast television signals that are available in your area.
Set up a ladder, then take the antenna up to where the satellite dish is mounted. One thing to keep in mind if you're using a satellite dish is that you'll need to connect your Smart TV to both broadband and your TV antenna to get Freeview On Demand.
Heavy snow can affect signal quality, but it is less likely to interfere than heavy rain. An accumulation of snow or ice on a dish can interfere with the signal or move the dish out of alignment with the satellite , which affects the signal.
To find the nearest TV satellites , simply raise your phone to the sky while the application is running. It will indicate on the real world view where all the satellites are as seen through your phone's screen, so you will know if a tree or a structure will be blocking the signal.
Check your satellite dish. Check your cables. Hold the LNB arm between the prongs with the tail end extending out past the plate's opposite side.
The exact installation process, including the bolts' size, may vary a little depending on the dish you have. Refer to the owner's manual for more specific instructions. Clip the antenna adjustment panel over the plate's prongs. The panel will look like a square box with one end open. Add a washer and nut on the end of each bolt after tightening them. This slot is what you use to point the satellite up or down.
Fit the U-shaped rod inside the adjustment panel. Your dish will have a bent metal rod that fits into one of the slots on the adjustment panel. Slip the rod inside, sliding its prongs through the holes. Ensure the prongs point toward you rather than the tail end of the LNB rod you connected earlier. Fit a small clamp over it, followed by a washer and nut on each prong. The adjustment panel has 3 different slots.
Use the slots to reposition the satellite dish. In most cases, the middle slot is best for setting the dish at the proper angle.
Bolt the antenna bracket to the back of the satellite dish. You have a couple more bolts to add to finish the bulk of the assembly, and this is one of the easiest parts to finish. Line up the holes on the plate with the holes on the back of the dish. Stick the longest bolts you have, usually 2 to 3 in 5. Then, place a washer and nut on the end of each bolt, tightening it with your wrench. If they feel shaky, carefully separate them and tighten the bolts.
One last component, the LNB, controls the dish's functionality. First, slide the handle of the LNB onto the open end of the arm. Secure it with nuts and bolts, then take the LNB out of the box. It looks almost like a round speaker or flashlight. Position it on the handle, facing it toward the dish before bolting it in place. You may need to loosen the LNB later to readjust it and improve the signal quality.
Connect the adjustment panel on the dish to the wall mount. Fit the dish onto the open end of the support.
If everything is attached correctly, it will fit inside or behind the adjustment panel. You can then add the 1 or 2 remaining bolts to fasten these pieces together. If the dish looks good, then you're ready to position it to communicate with a satellite. If the mount is meant to attach to the back of the panel, your satellite will also come with a pair of clips. Position them behind the support, then add the screws through them to bind the parts together.
Part 3. Select a satellite you wish to connect to. Pick a satellite that is in range of your particular dish. There are numerous satellites out there, but dishes cannot get signals from all of them. If you bought your dish from a TV service, for instance, you might have a hard time connecting to their competitor's satellites.
Tracking sites list the names, which usually include the owning company or the service they provide. If you bought a satellite service, it is possible to receive satellite signals outside that service. Since you usually need to replace several parts, it's easier to get a new satellite instead.
Try to pick a satellite close to your area. If you subscribe to a particular TV service, you will need to use the company's satellites. The biggest providers have multiple satellites.
Find the satellite's location before positioning the dish. You're going to need to point the dish in the correct direction, then angle it up at the sky. This isn't easy to do if you don't know the satellite's positioning. Fortunately, satellites don't move much, so you can use a positioning database to adjust your dish. The site will give you the precise positioning needed for your dish to receive the signal.
You won't be able to receive a signal from a distant satellite. Don't expect to reach a Chinese satellite if you're in North America, for instance.
Use the azimuth number to rotate the satellite. Have a compass handy and locate true north first. Then, look at the azimuth number and find where that is on the compass.
North is considered 0 degrees, east is 90 degrees, south is degrees, and west is degrees. These antennas allow us to extend the reception of free or paid channels of televisions from all over the world. Installing a satellite dish is simple: you just have to find a correct point for the support on a wall, a terrace or the roof and follow the steps to capture and tune in a good satellite signal. When installing a satellite dish we find a series of pieces that are disassembled and we must be able to identify.
We tell you what they are and what they are for:. The dish or parable. Within the parts of a satellite dish, the dish is responsible for receiving all satellite signals and centralizing them at one point to be able to transfer them amplified to the satellite receiver. The satellite dishes are not all the same: some do not even have a parabolic shape. You must choose the right satellite dish size in order to get maximum coverage.
The most common are 60, 80, and cm in diameter. Its design is also very important because it can determine the power and quality of reception. In addition to the type of antenna, another important point is the size: the lower the quality of the satellite signal in our geographical area, the greater the plate should be.
These are the most common types of satellite antenna dishes :. The LNB This device Low Noise Block , literally translated as a low noise block is used to process the signals emitted by the satellites and convert them into a lower frequency so that they can be distributed smoothly to the receiver.
The image quality on the screen will depend on its quality. These devices can be:. The support of the LNB. It is the arm at whose end the LNB is placed stably so that it can be oriented according to the reception parameters.
It is attached to the wall bracket, to the mast of a collective antenna, or to the mast of the floor of a terrace, usually by means of U-bolts or very resistant jaws. It is also used to place the plate anchors and the height adjustment systems of the plate.
The height regulator It allows to orientate the height of the plate for the correct reception according to the satellite. It has some through screws with nuts that can be loosened and tightened to adjust the orientation. The azimuth regulator. The wall or mast support usually a cylindrical tube is the axis that allows the azimuth to be adjusted with respect to the satellite, starting from the north cardinal point or the magnetic north. To do this you have to rotate the structure with the plate around it.
Its manipulation allows to capture the satellite signals, combining it with the height of the parabola. The azimuth adjustment is made clockwise or counterclockwise. The satellite that your dish connects with is in a geosynchronous orbit moving the same as the earth somewhere above the equator. This means if you reside in North America, your satellite dish needs a clear and unobstructed view of the southern sky to pick up signals from that satellite.
Your position relative to the satellite determines the required vertical and horizontal alignment for the dish, which you can measure with a signal meter. Your dish also needs a cabled connection to the satellite receiver and your television. In addition to positioning and cabling, your dish needs a mounting surface that is stable and secure.
