Changing the Location of Your Dish Network Dish - Easily
One of Dish Network's offers is free installation of all
equipment and service to first time subscribers. This is
excellent because you are assured of expert installation
initially. There may come a time, though, when you either must
change Dish Network's Dish because of necessity or just because
you want to change it. Whatever the reason, it is easily
accomplished with some precaution.
The actual Dish Network Dish is small, about 2 to 2 l/2 feet in
diameter, and mounts quite easily on an outside wall, a veranda,
roofing, fences, or even the roofs or sides of garages. It is
light in weight and this makes it even easier to fasten. Each
Dish Network Dish has two antennas, and they should always be
pointed toward or facing the Southern sky. Each of these
antennas is instrumental in intercepting and transmitting
satellite signals onto your television screen. When choosing a
new location for your Dish, be sure you look at the environment
well so there will be no future obstructions of the signal
transmission. Place it away from trees, places where children
play, buildings, other wiring, any thing that might get in the
way of satellite transmissions. Dish Network's satellite dish
must be pointing directly and unobstructed at a Southern sky at
all times. This assures you of uninterrupted signal transmission
from Dish Network's satellites and the best in quality program
viewing on your television system.
There may be occasion when mounting of the Dish is just not
possible. If such an instance should present, Dish Network
includes, in their promotional offer, a tripod stand. This
alternative to wall or roof mounting is great for use in
apartments or condominiums - especially if there are rules that
prohibit nailing and mounting objects on dwelling exteriors. The
only problem with using a tripod is that it is highly sensitive.
The tripod and Dish Network Dish need to be placed far and away
from people or animals that may cause it to tip in any way.
Sometimes people and animals may bump into the tripod and even
the slightest touch can interrupt your reception. When this
happens, your television screen will indicate that the Dish is
looking for a signal. Then you will need to lightly touch or tap
your satellite dish until begin transmitting is resumed and the
imaging is restored on the television screen.
It is assumed that the question is being asked: Well, if Dish
Network's Dish is so sensitive that even a bump or nudge will
knock it out of line, then how does it withstand being mounted
on walls with the wind, rain, snow, etc., hitting it constantly?
The only thing I can think of is that with the Dish being
stationary, it is secure and receiving a constant line of
signaling; when jolted, it interrupts the flow of signaling from
satellites and throws it into chaos until secured again. Who
knows? Your guess is as good as mine in this regard.
