Satellite TV service continues to be widely popular among those who value their in-home entertainment. It allows subscribers to receive hundreds of channels for package prices that are comparable or even better than what local cable companies can offer. If you’re ready to start enjoying premium programming, you must make sure your satellite installation is completed with the dish properly connected to your television. As Foley, AL’s top HD satellite provider, Sunshine Satellites is the ideal place for customers to find all the equipment they need to get superior TV service. They also have a team of expert technicians that are equipped to do all the installation work; however, they understand some people prefer to take the DIY approach.

Once you have all the components you need to start your satellite installation, the first step is to find the perfect locations for your dish and TV. Whether it’s mounted onto the exterior of your home or placed in the ground, your satellite dish will need to be in an area that’s free of trees and power lines to prevent interference with your signal. Make sure your TV is in a spot you’ll be satisfied with because it isn’t usually easy to move once it’s  connected.

Next, you should take the time to go through the instructions and identify each part that came with your satellite dish. Look for the slot labeled “LNB” on the back of the dish and plug in one end of the coaxial cable. Now, take the other end and put it in the port marked “Sat in” on the receiver. Then, you’re going to connect one end of the HDMI cable to the “output” opening on the back of the dish and attach the other end to your TV. After following these steps, you should be able to turn your TV on and get a signal from the satellite.

If any part of the satellite installation process seems too confusing or you simply want the assistance of a professional to make sure you receive maximum performance from your equipment, don’t hesitate to call for help.
