What is a Satellite Dish?
A satellite dish, also known as a SAT dish, is a type of antenna that receives signals from communication satellites. These dishes are typically parabolic in shape, which has earned them the nickname "SAT mirror."
The parabolic shape helps focus the signals transmitted by satellites and directs them to the feedhorn, which then transmits the signal to the receiver.
In households, satellite dishes are often used to receive television and radio programs, allowing access to a variety of international and national channels. Installing a satellite dish can reduce dependency on cable providers and often offers higher picture and sound quality.

Installation and Alignment Tips
When installing and aligning a satellite dish, there are a few important steps to ensure optimal signal reception.
First, you should select the right mounting location, which has a clear view of the satellite. In most cases, the dish should be pointed south. Use a compass or a satellite finder app to determine the exact angle.
The dish's mounting must be secure and stable to withstand weather conditions. When attaching the dish, make sure it is aligned both horizontally and vertically. A satellite finder or special measuring device can help you optimize the signal.
Don't forget to install the cable connections correctly and make them weatherproof. Poor cabling can affect signal quality. After installation, run a channel scan to receive all available programs.
