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.
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.

There will probably be some settings in the setup menus relating to this, and it will hopefully just be a question of checking how things are configured on other boxes that do work.
I am not allowed to install a dish to my property wall but can have a ground mounted dish is there a minimun height that it would need to be? In my garden, for example, I had to move a few feet to the left to be clear of a block of flats, but other than that, sitting on the patio is just fine.
I have just bought a new Motorhome. This has an oyster vision dish on the roof with the control box. It appears to pick up Astra 2. And Hotbirdsatalites. I have a receiver I purchased from Maplin some years ago. The receiver works with its own dish and with an old dish my neighbour gave me. Have tried connecting this to the Oyster vision dish but cannot get a signal. Any ideas?
It may be worth a look at this page, which details some issues people might have with the Oyster dishes. I have an old Sky dish. When sky took their box they kindly snipped the wire into the house so I still have the wire on the outside of my house still fitted to the dish.
The wire is a twin coaxial wire. My question is would I put an f connector on each of the two wires and then plug these onto the two connections on the back of the box so that it can record?
The dish will have a dual or quad LNB, and these feeds lead to one each. Read through the article and then the various posts that follow and found the whole piece to be a great help.
I have just purchased a mini sat system and thought it would be a nightmare to use but, having read through the article etc. I found it less daunting.
However, I already had a much larger dish and attached this and hey presto! My next adventure is Switzerland in May and I look forward to trying a whole new experience there. Best get that info before you travel. Many thanks Nigel for the article, tips and advice to others which answered all my queries and allayed my fears before using the system I had bought.
My query is this, The new buildings though taller than my building are not really sky scrapers, just six floors and a fancy roof. How feasible is it to get a pole with a dish erected, is there any way to work out how high I would have to go and any idea aprox. It might be worth asking if any other residents are suffering similarly, and want to share the cost of a satellite distribution system, mounted on the roof.
Hi Nigel. I have moved bracket and dish across 50cm and up 50cm onto the new end post. I have checked that the plane of the fence post and the dish itself is vertical correct?
There is a mini spirit level on the LNB and that is set horizontal also correct? Also taken out and checked both the F connectors. So far no signals detected. So, having read through your informative column, I am encouraged to carry on. Elevation and Azimuth direction? Do I need a meter for the fine tuning? And then do search for the stations on the Humax? Most of the German channels are on a different satellite, at Hi, I want to move my dish higher up the wall by approx 2metres, but also to another wall 90 degrees difference but still clear line in direction of satellite for building works being done, will I need to adjust the elevation setting on the dish or do I just need to worry about the azimuth?
Just the azimuth. The satellite is so far away that your vertical position will make little difference. Hi, Great help reading all the blogs for a newbie to sat like me. Not Helpful 5 Helpful The channels are not what you typically receive by cable or pay satellite. These are special-interest channels of a religious, cultural or educational nature. Not Helpful 15 Helpful Not Helpful 10 Helpful Depending on your receiver, it may be as easy as opening the settings menu and entering the data for the new satellite.
Not Helpful 9 Helpful The dish has nothing to do with the box and signal strength. All you need is a good position of your dish and good settings on your FTA set top box and it will work in sync.
Not Helpful 11 Helpful There is nothing I'm aware of on Ku-band the dish this set-up describes from Puerto Rico. If you had a 6 to 12 foot "big" dish, then you could try 99W. Depends on what satellite you want. Go to LyngSat and find the satellite you want, it lists all the channels available. Not Helpful 3 Helpful 7.
