Dish Alignment Instructions & Information for UK

customers who wish to receive English programs.

Satellites are located every 3 degrees in a geostationary

orbit 35,000 kilometres above the earths surface at the

equator which is known as the Clarke Belt. No matter

where you are on the earths surface the satellites will

always be located at the same position the only thing that

changes is the elevation as you move further north or

south.

Satellite transmissions are low power high frequency; in

order to obtain useable signals you need clear line of site

between your dish and the satellite. Any obstruction in the

way i.e., buildings / towers / power lines can and will

affect the signals received, in some cases eliminating the

signals altogether. Selecting a fixing position for your dish

is therefore critical to the success of the installation. In an

open field situation there should be no problems unless

something large is parked between you and the satellite. A

built up area is somewhat more problematic, as a general

rule of thumb look to place the dish as high as possible,

the provided cable will allow a reasonable height to be

achieved. A small difference in the location of the dish can

have quite a significant effect on signals received.

Assemble the dish as per the enclosed instructions. Ensure

cable connections have been made correctly There should

be no connection between the inner and outer sheath, if

you find you have a connection it is likely a small strand of

outer sheath has bridged to the inner core on one of your

connectors. Do not turn on the power to your receiver.

Connect the cable to the LNB on the dish (previously

assembled as per instructions), uncoil the cable from the

dish to the receiver. You will see that to uncoil the cable

properly will require the twist to be removed from the

cable, this can only be achieved properly with one end

disconnected, once you have the cable laid out with no
