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?
I've had great success and fun by turning a satellite dish into a super directional microphone. Any small mic will work, just position it at the focal point in place of the old microwave amp facing toward the dish. Add small headphone amplifier and listen up! Pinpoint birds and other wildlife locations.
What are satellite angles?
Communication or geostationary satellites orbit the Earth around the equator at a height of approx 23000 miles. To fit a satellite dish to your home you need to know the latitude on the globe of your town. The dish angle approaches the horizontal the further north you live. Note: It's the same for setting the angle of the gnomon on a sundial.
What is meant by a geostationary orbit and what is it used for?
A satellite in a geostationary orbit goes around the earth at the same angular speed that the earth spins on its axis. So to someone on the earth the satellite looks like its not moving because its always at the same location above the earth. These satellites are used for communication purposes. For example, TV stations can reflect their signal off of such a satellite by aiming their transmitter at it. They don't have to change their aim because the satellite is always there. Satellite dish receivers can easily pick up the reflected signal just by aiming the dish antenna at the satellite and again you don't have to change this aim because the satellite is always there. The satellites have to be in a circular orbit above the equator in order for it to be put in a geostationary orbit.
