In this article, consider the installation process of the satellite plate, although many consider it quite complex and troublesome. After all, cable television is already outdated, has many flaws, for example, a limited list of channels and poor image quality. But the main advantage of satellite is the cost.

If the fee for cable service is constantly changing, for the purchase of equipment and installation of satellite TV is enough on the average 160ue. Residents of suburban areas and long-term private sector is practically the only opportunity to secure access a wide range of channels you watch.

System operation Organization

• channels feeding signal supplied to a particular satellite, located in space;
• each subscriber receives a signal on the plate;
• it is processed through the tuner or receiver;
• issued picture and sound on the TV screen.

To ensure that satellite TV on their own to start is to decide on the services provided by the operator or select the satellite from which the signal will go.
Some satellite TV channels encoded signal is fed, they are included in the package of the subscriber or broadcast separately. It is considered to be the property of the provider, and therefore requires a paid decoding. Companies provide service to customers in the form of the ability to view a large number of channels from one source. In this Russian channels are fed with different consumer devices that are located in remote locations. So it is necessary to choose the closely spaced satellites or modify hardware configurations.
Popular satellite, sending a signal to a wide range of free channels:

• YAMAL201;
• sirius;
• amos;
• Hot Bird.

Ease of selection of the last three is that the reception is carried out with the same plate. By combining communication comes 37 free channels plus a lot of Russian in foreign languages \u200b\u200bthat do not require additional investments.
When choosing a provider should be guided by the leaders of the Russian market are:

• Tricolor TV;
• NTV-Plus;
• Orion Express (Viva TV).

All operators have the official sites for familiarization with the information it provided to the terms of cooperation and channel packages.

The set of equipment

After determining the provider's customer service or a separate satellite buy a complete set of equipment. It includes:

• decision antenna signal;
• bracket serves to secure the equipment;
• converter receives the signal from the dish;
• receiver;
• cable;
• diseko (DiSEq);
• f-connectors;
• connection cable.

Purpose and scheme of work sets

The signal comes from the satellite to the dish, which reflects it into currency. Then it goes into receivers for satellite TV, where the processing and converts the signal into a picture on the screen. Converter with a receiver connected to the TV cable. Diseko needed in the case of receiving channels from multiple satellites, it connects the converters in a single cable. For structural integrity required f-connectors, they help to connect the cable to the equipment.

Selecting components

For quality of the received signal it is important to purchase the appropriate set of elements. There are guidelines for choosing the components.

Particular attention receiver

Many consumers consider the defining functionality of the device cost, the receiving price ranges from 60 to 600. Among the consumers are popular inexpensive devices that provide the reception of the main channels. The purchase of a device with a high price is not justified in the case of an ordinary TV, because improving image quality can not be expected. When the above mentioned satellites Sirius-Amos-Hot Bird will be a fairly inexpensive receiver, in addition, the possibility of receiving a signal from other satellites remains.
One of the basic requirements is the possibility of firmware, software update allows you to expand the list of received channels. It is desirable that the firmware version has been updated, sometimes it gives up to a dozen additionally open channels. Manufacturers constantly produce new models with an increased number of functions, therefore there is no meaning in the acquisition of expensive equipment. Experts are offered to buy receivers of famous companies, because the production of subsequent products is based on improving released models.
Also draw attention to the presence of output connectors, the main things are considered:

• SCART;
• tulips (for focusing on TV);
• Ant in and Ant Out for additional utensils;
• RS 232 connects the tuner with a computer;
• 0/12 B Expands the function of the disc.

The optimal options for choices are the models of receivers with firmware:

• Globo;
• Opticum;
• Star Trask;
• OpenBox;
• Sky Fly.

The middle class equipment is also proposed with the presence of an emulator or slot to set the coded channel reception module.

Characteristics of plates

According to constructive features, the plates are divided into:

• straightforward;
• offset.

The second option is more common among consumers because of its availability and practical operation.
There is also a separation by the material from which the product is made. The steel antenna remains a practical, durable and accessible option. Also on the market are offered products from plastic, aluminum and mesh, but they have many drawbacks.
It is much easier to determine the TV satellite antennas - you need to know the necessary diameter, it can be 0.6-3m. With larger diameter, the best signal features are achieved. As a rule, there is enough plates with a diameter of 90cm. For the above mentioned providers require:

• Tricolor TV - 0.9M;
• NTV-Plus - 0.6m;
• Orion Express (Viva TV) - 0.9m.

In the areas of poor coverage, the installation of plates with a diameter of more than 1.2 m.

Models of converters

The selection of the device of the converter is reduced to the determination of its polarization, it is determined by the type of satellite. It happens:

• linear;
• circular.

At the same time, there are universal converters, they are designed to work with satellite television and the Internet. The main indicator of the quality of the device is the noise level. The proposed devices go with a certain number of outputs, that is, if you wish, view transmission through the computer and the TV will need 2 outputs. When using multiple converters, you will have to purchase a multifide.
From low-cost devices, the guaranteed quality offers MTI Blue Line devices. They are designed to work with offset antennas, there are many new models with different capabilities.

Mounting satellite TV

The main nuance when choosing a satellite is the possibility of receiving the signal from it, it means there is no obstacles. It is important to send an antenna to a satellite, so if there is a number of buildings or vegetation, they will have to install a satellite plates on the roof of the house. Otherwise, you will have to choose another signal supply source.
To install the equipment there is an algorithm for action:

• choose a company providing a service or directly satellite;
• selection of equipment equipment;
• assembly antenna;
• determination of the satellite orientation;
• fixing bracket;
• installation of satellite antennas;
• connection of all equipment;
• setup.

Installation of satellite plates

Before mounting the equipment, the antenna itself is collected, instructions are attached to the instrument. The video shows the process of assembling the plate in stages.

It is worth paying attention to the antenna mirror, it is quite fragile, especially for aluminum mirrors. Any mechanical damage is able to change its geometry, respectively deteriorate the reception of the frequency of satellite TV. After assembly, check the reliability of all mounts.

Selection of place and directions

When installing a satellite antenna independently determine the direction where the plate should look. According to the rules, count:

• the angle of location is the deviation of the lines of the horizontal area in direct visibility to the satellite;
• azimuth - direction to satellite.

Calculations are conducted by complex formulas, but in practice there is another principle. In the case of tv setup for a popular satellite, you can see the direction of the surrounding, already mounted equipment. Often when self-installing for a landmark takes neighboring plates.

Fastening bracket

At first, there are places for the holes and drilled by a perforator. The bracket itself hangs on the anchor, they are reliable and practical. Before mounting satellite television, the antenna is tied by a safety rope. It puts on an antenna according to the instructions, the attachments are tightened slightly, because it will have to tune the equipment by rotational movements.

Connection

When the plate is installed, the television cable is started, this requires:

• install connectors;
• connecting to the converter;
• connection to the receiver;
• voltage supply.

To install connectors, the wire isolation is first cut into the edge, the screen braid is bent in the opposite direction. You also need to cut a foil 0.8 cm from the edge, it isolates the core of the wire, so the connector is screwed. The process is repeated for the second end of the cable, then one side is connected to the convepor, and the second - receiving. In the presence of several convectors, the wire is connected to the disk, from there there is already a connection to the receiver. After connecting it to the TV, you can feed the voltage equipment.

Satellite TV or how to set up an antenna

The direction of the antenna can determine:

• on the compass
• special devices.

With the first way it is clear, you need to know the coordinates of the satellite. In the second case, the task is greatly simplified thanks to the SATFinder device, which helps to quickly define the satellite and adjust the antenna on it. There are two types of devices:

• arrow;
• automated.

It is clear that the cost of instruments is different, the price of the shooter starts from 10th. But the second type of equipment contributes to the completion of the process of setting the plate in a short time. To accurately determine the required position, the connection of the satfinder is carried out between the receiver and the antenna. The following data is made in the Antenna Settings menu to the desired satellite and transponder, turn on the power. With the change in the horizontal and vertical position of the antenna, the maximum growth of the scale on the left side of the device is achieved. It is these segments that characterize the quality of equipment settings.

Preliminary calculations help cope with the task, when adjusting are oriented to the signal level.

Setting up a satellite with a free channel package

Take for example the setting on Sirius satellite, the course of action:

• connecting receiver to TV;
• introduction of installation parameters according to the instructions. To do this, in the main menu, the "Install antenna" mode is selected, in the "manual search", the frequency of 11.766 GHz is set, horizontal "H" polarization.

Next, hold the setting:

1. in planes;
2. towards;
3. using the converter.

1. For the first item, it is worth rotating an antenna in a horizontal direction, movements must be smooth. Deviations may differ literally on 1mm, while the difference in the quality of the signal supply is essential. With the complete absence of the signal, you will have to correct the originally exposed vertical antenna angle.
2. To improve the quality of the image, you can move the up-down plate slightly, only worth changing its position. Otherwise, the image may be finally the image.
3. The turn of the converter in the holder on its axis may noticeably improve the situation, for these purposes, tags are applied on the device.
Next, the vertical "V" polarization is adjusted, actions are similar to the previous process.
If you successfully configure, a qualitative level of signal reception is achieved - now it remains to securely fix the strengthening nuts. Subsequently, you have to perform such settings for each satellite, however, not displacing a plate, but by adjusting the converter. Next, open the signal to the encoded channels by inserting the access card from the operator.

How to configure tricolor tv

Considering that the most famous satellite digital television of Russia is Tricolor TV, it is worth considering the option of its settings.
Connection and installation is made similarly above the described method. For the initial orientation of the antenna required:

1. turn on the receiver;
2. in the "Antenna Settings" menu, scroll to the right;
3. wait for the appearance of two lanes at the bottom of the screen showing the strength and quality of the signal, respectively;
4. next, the orientation occurs approximately, already installed plates are viewed;
5. when the signal appears on the strip screen, the green scale will begin filled;
6. for adjustment, the horizontal and vertical movement of the antenna are used for several millimeters;
7. an sufficient value of the filling of the scale is considered to be 70%.

After a quality setup, the subscriber when the receiver is turned on, you can download the update of the Tricolor TV, it indicates a complete list of channels. Knowing the equipment set you need to also register the receiver. To do this, it is enough to fill out the data on the official website of the Tricolor TV, after confirming the information, the contract number is issued and the subscriber card is activated. It will be left to send the contract in paper in the company by mail.
