How do you find out where to point a satellite dish?
Commercial satellites are in geosynchronous orbit around the equator. They are each at a particular longitude. The direction you need to point your dish then depends on where you are. In northern Canada, dishes point at a very shallow angle to the south. In California, they are pointing around 45 degrees up and some amount east or west. Find out the longitude of the satellite you want and then look up on the satellite company's website (or do an Internet search) for the angles to aim (one angle is skyward, the other north/south/east/west).
What can you make out of a satellite dish?

Why are satellite dishes white and not mirrored?
Well, the satellite dishes in my area are mostly grey, not white - but to the question - why painted and not mirrored?. The wavelengths that need reflecting by the parabolic mirror of the satellite dish are in the microwave range - a millimetre or so. So, the dish need only be smooth compared to that length, and a paint finish meets that standard, though of course, most of the reflection is done by the metal of the dish. The paint need not be radio-conductive or radio-reflective. Were the dish needed to operate in the optical range, then indeed, a mirror finish would be needed.
What do satellite dishes do?
A satellite dish is just a reflector of radio waves, and made in the shape of a parabola. The actual aerial bit is placed at the focus of the parabola, so you are getting all the energy that fell on the area of the dish. It will receive the energy transmitted from a particular satellite - usually an entertainment one.
What does the satellite dish do in space?

What type of energy transfers happen in a satellite dish?
There's only one: -- In a receiving dish, the collected and focused electromagnetic energy changes to electrical energy in the feed, LNA, or LNB at the focus of the dish. -- In a transmitting dish, the electrical energy of the transmitter changes to electromagnetic energy, either at the focus of the dish if the transmitter is mounted there, or else at the end of a hollow waveguide that escorts it to the focus of the dish.

What is the best TV satellite system for a motorhome?
It depends on what kind of motorhome and when you want to watch Dish TV. If you will be mobile and wanting television, you will need a self adjusting satellite dish; there are also stationary satellite dishes available. As far as a satellite system, I prefer Dish TV because of the price, channel selection and technology. Dish Network also has a affordable portable satellite dish that does not attach to your motor-home called the Dish Tailgater.
