and this is to just name a few. Now that you know how many singals there are, i just assume that
your next step will be how do I find these singals and are they for free. The are many ways to find satellite singals and
use them. Just inmaine that you are a truck driver and you are on the road and you CB goes off and now you are talking to
some other driver or someon at home who has the same frequency. Satellite singals are the same way, you just have to be tuned
in at the same time at the right time. SO let take the last in the graph to find this singal you have to adjust your dishto
13 degress using latitude and longitude lines, once you have the singal then the picture should be clear.
Now i would not advise you to go looking for satellite dishes for you self, however, there
are many help full tools that you can use.
1 Inexpensive power detectors this will give a hint that you have found a
singal depending on how strong the singal is will depend on how close you are to the true focal point. This
tool would be handy if you are able to sperate each satellite dish from on another, so that once you find this singal you
will be able to find your oringal singal easier.
2 Satellite Identifiers this does exactly what it sounds like, this tool will
let you know what satellite singal you have picked up. .
3 Recevier most recevier will pick up the singal that you are looking for,
however you have to be patient due to the fact it may take sometime for the recevier to pick up on the singal anf reconzie
it has the right one. As long as you set the right longitude and latitude correct there should be not problem.
To get the correct location of a satellite dish i would advise for you
to go to a professional. Or chick out the web on how to find satellite singals.
Just to be clear in case I have confused some of my reader Dish network or Direct Tv will install
the correct focal point for you for free. However, if you are like me and like to tinker around with you technology this site
my be helpful for you.
To find dish network and Dirct tv satellite you will have to travel 22,300 miles up just above the
equator, the satellite always appear to be sationary, this is called geostationary orbit. To find out dish you will need to
know your Azimuth anf elecation, Azimuth, which is defined as the horizontal direction expressed as
the angular distance between the direction of your dish and the direction of our satellites. Elevation is the angle distance
of our satellites above the horizon in relation to your dish. In other words, elevation concerns the up-and-down positioning
of your dish.
For those of out there that will never understand this terms, for your convince Dish Network programs
these coorindaites into your Tv system for you.\
