Will a satellite dish receive a signal if its installed in the attic?

No, it will definitely not. It has to be outside, and facing the sky. If it is covered up in the attick, it cannot get signal.


Are the requirements to be allowed to set up satellite dish equipment in Toronto, Ontario?

There are no requirements to set up a satellite dish if you are just looking to receive a signal. There are signal transmitting requirements if you wish to project a signal that goes through licensing, content, and national standards.


How can make sat dish?

The best form of dish is a Parabolic Dish - This captures the digital signal and because of its concave form bounces the signal to an LNB ( stands for Low Noise Block) and it is the receiving end of a satellite dish. The LNB must be pointing directly to the satellite overhead in orbit to receive the strongest and clearest signal. As with a normal TV antenna, it may be required for you to adjust the LNB in order to receive the highest quality (strongest and clearest) satellite signals available


Why is a satellite dish round?

Each satellite TV dish can be a different shape depending on what provider you have. Dish Network satellites are more round -- the reason they are round is to get the best possible signal using the LNB (a device attached to the dish) and the specific curvature of the dish; since all TV, Cable and satellite providers use some form of satellite to get your programming each dish is a slightly different shape depending upon what satellite they are pointing to in the sky.


What does the satellite dish do in space?

Satellite dish is used to receive the data colleted by the satellite and to give commands to it.


Can you use a different companies satellite dish to receive your companies signal?

Short answer is for the most part no. Each satellite TV company picks up different orbitals using the LNB on your satellite Dish in order to receive your programming; these orbitals can vary depending on what programming package you choose and where you live.

Can you use a dishnet pro 500 satellite dish and L and B for tunning in a direct tv signal?

No, you are not able to use the LNB from DISH Network and receive dtv signal. Our receivers and LNB decode the signal to bring the picture to your TV.


Where does the satellite lie?

A satellite again is a mirror; it is simply bouncing the audio and video signal, usually in C or KU band. The small dish companies receive this feed by way of dish farms, with many dishes pointed at different satellites. These dish farms then process the main signal and compress it, usually to mpeg format.

Why do signal of satellite TV disappear when it rain?

Satellite signals are transmitted from a satellite above the earth's atmosphere. To reach the satellite dish, they need to pass through the atmosphere. Normally, the signals pass without a problem but they can be affected by clouds and rain. Most satellite receivers receive enough signal even in times of atmospheric disturbance but extreme weather may disrupt the signal enough to prevent reception. If the problem is happening on a regular basis, it might be worth checking the alignment of the dish and the LNB (the receiver unit on the arm in front of the dish). If the dish is mis-aligned even by a very small amount, it will not receive a full strength signal so poor weather will affect the quality of the signal more than normal. Checking the alignment is a very quick job for a satellite installer (and much slower for most other people). If alignment doesn't help, it's time to check the cable from the dish to the receiver inside.


What is the purpose of a satellite antenna?

A satellite antenna has one very important purpose. It is designed to allow a home to receive a satellite signal, which then allows users to receive a television signal.
