Diy satellite dish installation nz

This is probably the dishes are most likely not NZ locally manufactured. Every thing imported are expensive considering the long distance shipments. Many dishes are Taiwan or China made probably. This is common brand in the market. The 75cm dish is more often used. I personally used this brand before. The problems I found about these type of dish antenna, not particularly this brand, are:.

The mounting and supporting parts are very much different. In New Zealand most of the installation are on wood roof and iron sheet where lag screws are commonly use.

You find plenty of TV aerial work samples. Some are probably your next door neighbors. We summarized a list of North Shore TV aerial installation jobs we have done for your reference. Previously we have multiple post each with a unique installation case study to show you how we work on your TV aerial installation works, the cabling and TV signal repair works.

Later on later year in The cabling are all in the attic. We connect it to. This is a problem that I had, which initially had me confused. I was receiving strong signals from some transponders, whilst some others which had channels that I wanted to see , were completely dead. To make things even more confusing, those very same transponders had worked not too long agon. It turned out that I had rotated the LNB slightly adjusted the skew , resulting in a lost signal.

In fact, my initial skew setting was significantly out from where it should be, and I had switched from a standard LNB, to a universal one. Universal LNBs seem to have stronger polarization characteristics, which can result in a better signal, but also requires better alignment. This blog entry has become much longer than I had expected, but it contains a good summary of the kind of issues that can come up during satellite dish alignment, and how to avoid them.

I hope that it will save other people some time and frustration. There are plenty of satellite installation "how-tos" on the internet, but none of them prepared me for the issues that I encountered. Comments 16 7 July I recommend using a "universal" LNB, because they can receive the whole Ku band and have a better noise figure.

Dear Sir, I have an old solid 1. I would like to change to Ku band lnb. What type of Ku lnb do I need? Rajesh Actually, you might want to check whether your LNB can receive the frequencies that the new satellite's TV signals are on. Rajesh Your LNB is working if it can receive from the old satellite.

In both cases you'll need to get the new details from your dish TV company. Thanks for nice info.
