Install additional receiver s , if necessary If applicable, connect a second satellite dish to the DPP Assembling and Mounting the Dish Follow these instructions to assemble the satellite dish, mount it, and point it in the direction of the satellites. Note: If your skew angle is at the extreme ends of the scale greater than or less than 70 , insert nuts and bolts from the hardware pack into the additional skew holes.
These additional skew holes provide greater stability to the dish at these extreme angles. See Figure 2. Installing the Receivers Use the steps below while referring to Figure 1. From the Point Dish screen, run Check Switch. On all other Legacy models, select Test. When the Check Switch procedure finishes, you should see an Installation Summary screen similar to the ones shown below.
Do not disturb the receiver during the process of downloading software. If exiting the Point Dish screen does not start the download process, turn off the receiver for at least 20 minutes on most receivers to allow the receiver to take a software download. Run Check Switch again and confirm reception for all three satellites on all available satellite tuners.
Your Installation Summary screen should be similar to the ones shown above in step 8. Some software on some models may identify the DPP This identification is OK.
If installing an additional receiver, follow steps When you are ready to start enjoying Dish TV, the next step is to schedule your installation appointment. Let the Dish representative know how many TVs will need to have equipment hooked up to them. This information will allow sufficient time to be set aside for your installation appointment. A typical installation for Dish TV involves:. Any other unique requirements that may apply to your situation should be mentioned as well.
This will make the installation process even more efficient. Dish does, however, provide the satellite dish, receiver, and remote either free of charge or at a low cost. The installation fee may be paid during your appointment or it can be included on your first bill. A credit card is needed for contract-related reasons — e. 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.
Rotate the satellite dish horizontally until it points in the correct direction. Then, turn the satellite southwest from there. Move the dish vertically to adjust its elevation. Once you know the height needed to reach the satellite, go behind the dish.
Examine the end of the mount where it connects to the dish. You will see a bolt inside a slot labeled by degrees, usually 10 to Loosen the bolt by twisting it counterclockwise, then reposition the dish to the proper elevation. Moving the bolt along the slot raises or lowers the dish. For instance, if the dish requires a degree elevation, it will point up into the sky almost as much as it possibly can. Slide the loosened bolt back toward the degree marker. Adjust the dish's polarization until you get a clear signal.
The final part that needs to be adjusted is LNB, responsible for receiving and sending the signal into your home. It is usually an arm on the front that points toward the dish.
Test out the signal quality by hooking the dish up to the receiver and a TV, then loosen the connecting nut on the arm by turning it counterclockwise with a wrench. If the TV is far away, have someone else stand near it and give you feedback.
You may need to wait to adjust the LNB until you're done with the wiring. Take care of it before then, if you're able, so you don't have to keep climbing on the roof to make adjustments. The LNB can sometimes be controlled by turning a mount part on the back of the dish left or right. Part 4. Check your home first for a previously-used cable opening. The dish's cable needs its own little space to enter your home and hook up to your TV.
Unless your home is in the process of being built, drilling a single hole is the easiest way to do this. Position your TV and the satellite receiver nearby to prepare for the connection. It needs to be below the frost line, the lowest point that freezes in winter, which is about 3 in 7. Run a coaxial cable from the LNB to the receiver.
Make sure the receiver is positioned close to the satellite to ensure the cable can reach it. TV service providers will also give you one when you buy a satellite from them. The coaxial cable sometimes connects to the back of the satellite.
Usually, though, it plugs directly into the LNB. Once the cord is in place, your TV will be able to receive the satellite signal. Turn on the TV to see if it works. The receiver may plug directly into the TV instead. Consult a wiring guide for specific instructions on how to connect the satellite, receiver, and your TV.
If you bought the satellite from a TV service provider, they would also provide a wiring guide. Turn on the TV to test the signal. Press the satellite button if your remote has one or navigate to the settings menu.
You should be able to get a picture right away. If the signal quality is poor, make sure you positioned the satellite dish correctly. Adjust it to get the clearest possible signal! Please note the azimuth, elevation, and LNB numbers and compare them to the satellite's location. Include your email address to get a message when this question is answered. Ask TV service providers for an install.
Many of them offer free installations as long as you buy a subscription for their service. Helpful 2 Not Helpful 0. Find spots to hide loose cables in your home. If the satellite dish's cable is exposed, put furniture and other decorations in front of it. Helpful 1 Not Helpful 0.
Every satellite receiver needs a separate coaxial cable. I used another dish to configure the receiver. After connected the coaxial cable from your dish to the LNB, then proceed to use blindscan to get all the channels on the position point your dish. Great day to you, please I try setting strong dish, but at the end, all the channels that shows are non Nigeria channel, what should I do and what is the location for strong decoder.
Free to air. What is the right size of dish to be use for startime signal tracking, and to which direction; west or east position!? Good day everyone. Please I need somebody to explain it to me. Please am in Ghana, I need all the symbol rates, transponders, poralities and frequencies of StarTimes in Ghana now. I appreciate your kind consideration. Thank you. I have track star time network using frequency and symbol rate
