Watch TV Programs with Digital Satellite Receiver

With the elevation and azimuth correctly lined up, the satellite dish is in a position to receive the satellite signal. Now, the digital receiver has to be connected to the television. Both, the receiver and television have to be turned on. The antenna LNB has to be connected to the receiver cables.

After the signal is received, the dish has to be fine tuned to ensure that the signal strength is the maximum. It is very important to maximize the signal, as the effect of rain during bad weather is decreased. For this, it is necessary to loosen the azimuth bolts and slowly rotate the dish in the same direction in which the satellite signal was received. The dish has to be moved till the maximum reading is achieved for the signal strength and then it starts to decrease. Now, that the value of the maximum signal strength is known, the dish has to be adjusted till this reading is reached. At the position of the maximum reading, the azimuth bolts have to be tightened. It has to be kept in mind that the Signal Strength reading need not be necessarily of 100 magnitudes. Now, the elevation bolts have to be loosened. The dish has to be very slowly moved upwards and downwards, until the strongest signal is achieved. Further, the elevation bolts can be tightened.

Now, the satellite dish can be fixed on the mounting surface. Further, the dish has to be adjusted such that the dish mast is exactly perpendicular to the level. Now, the satellite dish is properly set. It has to be aimed towards the satellites.

There are three primary types of satellite television usage: reception direct by the viewer, reception by local satellite television affiliates, or reception by headends for distribution across terrestrial cable systems. Direct to the viewersatellite television reception includes direct broadcast satellite or DBS and satellite television receive-only or TVRO, both used for homes and businesses including hotels, and so forth. Digital satellite receiver certainly has us covered with its satellite television coverage for its designated areas.
