Satellite TV Installation: after you order your DIRECTV or Dish Network satellite television system, you can either install it yourself or have it professionally installed. Since both Dish Network and DIRECTV offer FREE Professional satellite TV installation, I recommend the professional installation. Either way, this article will give you a good step-by-step guide so you know exactly what’s needed.

DIRECTV or Dish Network Satellite TV Installation, Mounting the Dish

The first step in the satellite TV Installation, whether it’s Dish Network or DIRECTV is to mount the satellite television dish. The satellite TV Dish can be mounted on your roof, wall or mounting pole. All three installations require an unobstructed view of the southern sky. If you live in an apartment or condo where you are not allowed to mount the dish on the roof or wall, you can mount it on your balcony using a portable stand which you can order from the satellite TV dealer or Radio Shack. Once the Dish is mounted you will need to aim the dish using a compass and an angle finder (a Protractor will work just fine), fine tuning the dish will come after you have a receiver hooked up.

Dish Network or DIRECTV Satellite TV Installation, Wiring the Receivers

Now that the satellite television dish is mounted, the next step in your DIRECTV or Dish Network satellite TV installation is to feed the cable or cables from your dish through the walls of your house into the room where you have your television sets. If your replacing cable TV with Satellite television and the cable TV installer did a good job you should be able to use those same cables which will make this part of the job easier. Now connect the cables from the satellite dish to the satellite television receivers, connect the receivers to your television set and connect a phone line from the nearest phone jack to the receiver.

DIRECTV or Dish Network Satellite TV Installation, Fine Tuning your Dish

Your satellite TV installation is almost complete. Your minutes away from enjoying superior picture quality, a larger selection of programming, your local channels and the best customer service in the business from either Dish Network or DIRECTV. Let’s fine tune your dish. You’ll need some help so turn on your television and your receiver. Have someone monitor the satellite TV providers signal strength menu on your television set. You now need to move the dish slowly very slowly up, down and sideways until you get the maximum signal strength. If you’re close you’ll still get a picture, however, rain or wind could easily knock your dish out of alignment. I repeat, make sure you get maximum signal strength. Do this correctly and you’ll have years of satellite television entertainment. Now lock down all the adjusting bolts.
