How To Install A Satellite Dish by Wesley S. King
A dish install may sometimes be above a do-it yourselfer, in which case a professional installer should be considered. Some satellite retailers offer Free installation for new subscriptions. If you decide to install the dish yourself, here are a few useful tips.
Here is a list of necessary items before getting started: satellite Signal Finder, complete satellite system, RG6 Coax Cable, 7/16? wrench, nut driver bit, cable ties or black tape, staples or screw clips, mast level, lag bolts and compass.
Begin by identifying a suitable location for the dish. The install location should have a clear line of site and be able face the direction as determined by your zip code. Line of sight is crucial, any interference will hinder signal strength. Another important task while installing the dish is to bolt the mast firmly and ensure it is plumb in all directions. Depending on the location of the satellite dish, you may use the provided foot / mast assembly. Others prefer a satellite tripod, wall mount or chimney mount.
The next step is to secure the satellite dish placed on the mast, but do not tighten the bolts. Put the coax cable through the arm of the satellite dish where the LNBF is and then properly connect the coax cable. Be sure to then secure the LNB to the satellite dish. Be careful not to over torque the bolts. Now review the satellite system’s manual for guidance on the correct elevation and skew of the dish. The user manual should provide measurements based on the zip code in which the satellite dish is being installed. The dish should also be well labeled with tick marks to accurately set the measurements.
Connect the coax cable to the satellite signal finder and also consider using the television for signal confirmation. Once you set the satellite dish to the measurements outlined in the user manual and then check the satellite signal finder until the signal is located. Make horizontal / vertical adjustments to the reflector as needed to peak the signal. After achieving an peaked satellite signal, secure the bolts on the dish.
Make the coax cable connection from the satellite dish to the receiver. Finally, perform the final test by connecting the receiver to your television. There may be a few confirmation steps to follow on-screen to complete the satellite Dish Installation. Once that is complete, you are ready to kick your feet up and enjoy the show.
