Aside from the receiver, the satellite dish is probably the most recognizable piece of equipment in a satellite TV package. Although many satellite dishes look alike from a distance, upon closer inspection there are a number of important differences to be noted. Is your satellite dish HDTV compatible? How many LNBs does it have? What about the multi-switch? Answering these questions is essential for proper installation. Properly Installing a Satellite Dish
For some consumers, professional installation is the only way to go. Nevertheless, satellite dish installation can be quite straightforward if you are properly equipped and informed. For example, certain dishes come with a single LNB (low-noise block), while others may have two or more. Multiple LNBs allow for multiple dedicated signals to be diverted to different receivers. The use of multi-switches is also another important aspect of satellite dish installation. For example, at Bestway Satellite, our Terk S-26 satellite dish is equipped with three LNBs and a 5x4 multi-switch. This allows the dish to be connected to four different receivers located throughout a home. On the other end of the spectrum, the basic 18-inch DirecTV dish can only be connected to a single receiver with the proper added equipment. Sorting through the various options available for satellite dish installation can be quite daunting. To that end, at Bestway Satellite, we pride ourselves on offering individualized customer service, in addition to our low prices and wide selection. If you are uncertain as to the type of equipment you may need or even how things should be properly connected, we recommend giving us a call prior to or after your purchase--we'll help ensure your installation is a success.
