How To Do Your Own Satellite Tv Installation

Tagged Under : , ,

Once you have ordered your new satellite TV system your will need to install it. Now you have the option of letting a professional do it for you or installing your own satellite TV system. Here is how to do your own installation.

Here is a step by step guide to satellite TV installation:

  1. First, you will need to mount your satellite dish – you can mount it on your roof, on a balcony, or on a south-facing wall. Make sure the location you pick has no tall buildings or trees nearby.

  2. If you live in an apartment complex or condo where you are not able to mount your dish outside, you can mount it on your balcony or inside using a portable stand, which you can order from your satellite TV dealer.

  3. After you install your dish, you need to connect your cable to your dish then feed the cable through your house to each of the rooms where you wish to have your televisions.

  4. Next, connect your televisions to the satellite TV receivers, and connect the cables from your dish to each of your receivers, then connect your receivers to the nearest telephone jacks with telephone wire.

  5. Turn on your television and your receiver and then monitor the satellite signal strength menu on your television while you use your compass to aim your dish by setting the correct azimuth, which sets the direction. Move your dish up, down, and sideways to obtain the correct elevation or angle, and skew which is the dish rotation. You can get the azimuth and angle settings from the provider.

  6. Finally, you will need to contact your satellite TV provider to have your system activated.

If you plan to do your own satellite TV installation, I recommend that you purchase the satellite TV installation kit from your dealer. It comes with an installation guide and all the necessary hardware.
If you decide to have your dish professionally installed you can expect the fee to vary from dealer to dealer. They usually range $100 to $200 dollars and sometimes even more, depending on how many receivers you need installed and how complicated the installation is.

There are two major satellite TV providers — DIRECTV and DISH Network who are almost always promoting their services by offering a free satellite TV system with free installation. The catch is you have to sign up for their service, but with prices starting at $19.99 a month you can go wrong.

After you order your satellite TV service, the dealer will call to schedule an installation time that works for you. You will have to wait from one to five days after you place your order to have the installation done.
Once the installer installs your system, they will show you how to operate it and they will answer all your questions before they leave.

Unless you are really handy with tools and enjoy tinkering with electronics, the best satellite TV installation is the one that the professionals do. But if you are up for the challenge why not do it yourself for free?
