How to set a setting for satellite system

 

In this essay, I will explain how to install a satellite system and how it works. To install a satellite system we need a satellite dish, a receiver, a monitor and at least a satellite finder device. In installation of a satellite dish, ones must know the amplitude and latitude of the surrounding. Each program in the satellite system has its own setting (setting of the amplitude and latitude of the broadcasting satellite were placed out in the space) and sometimes this setting may change. All the updated setting for the satellite program we can obtain it in the Internet.

For the installation, the first thing we need to do is to find a suitable spot where we can mount the satellite dish. The spot must be clear from anything, in other words there should not have any obstacles between the paths of the LNB of the satellite from the earth direct to the satellite of the outer space. The LNB is a device that receives a signal from the satellite. For Brunei Darussalam, most satellite dishes are pointed to the IndoSAT Satellite. Therefore, the LNB were 0 degree face to the south and the angle is 45 degree from the ground. After mounted the dish at a suitable spot, the next thing to do is to set the programs setting in the receiver according to the updated list of setting gain from the Internet. Then, use the “F” connector to connect the LNB with the receiver. When all the settings are done, next thing to do is to find the signal of the satellite. For this purpose, we can make a manual searching by moving around the dish until we can see an image inside the monitor or we can use a satellite finder device. In this matter, a satellite finder is much appropriate.

To use the satellite finder device, the device has one input, which is the signal from the LNB and one output which the signal to the receiver. There are frequency bar on the device range from zero to ten. To find the satellite signal, we must set the bar at least at “Five” thus this will increase the dB bar and it will produce a beeping sound. From there we start to find the satellite signal by playing around with the dishes pointing it any direction, but the LNB must still faces the south. When there is a signal, the range of frequency will increase. At this point, we set back the frequency to “Five” but the dB bar is decrease. Then continue again to find the signal until the frequency bar reach its maximum with the dB bar is nearly turn “zero”. When this is happens, it means that, the satellite dish have receive a full signal and the receiver now can enjoy the satellite program. Finally, the dish can be adjust and mount steadily so that the signal remains full.

As you can see, a satellite installation and searching for satellite signal is not an easy job to do. Although it look likes the task is very simple – connect and search, you must have patience. If you don’t have patience in finding the satellite signal, you may end up angry and hitting the dish which led it to lose its centre of gravity – important thing to spot the signal from outer space satellite.
