What goes into DIRECTV Installation?
What goes into DIRECTV Installation? There are usually only
three main parts to a DIRECTV Installation. But what goes into
DIRECTV
Installation? The first and most essential DIRECTV Installation
is the Satellite Dish. Secondly
most important in any DIRECTV Installation is the RG6 coaxial
cable that should thread through
the house down to the Audio-Visual equipment. And thirdly most
important in a DIRECTV
Installation is the receiver unit setup. Mostly they are all
pretty self-explainable and
self-understandable, as long as the setup is standard in the
location where this particular
DIRECTV Installation occurs.
DIRECTV Installation of the Satellite Dish DIRECTV Installation
of a satellite dish means knowing what size and type of dish you
will need
for your coverage area, how to install the mounting system, and
how to point it correctly. Most
all DIRECTV Installation now a days uses a small oval dish which
is light weight and easy to
mount. Sometimes in really rainy areas, or snowy, bigger heavy
dishes are used. Once you have the
proper DIRECTV dish for your site, then you need to do a
thorough survey of the land and discover
a place that is pointing in the general direction of Texas,
unless you live in Texas (then point
due south). You will want to point to the satellite which if you
live in the south of the US
means pointing really angled up (like around 60 degrees, however
farther north close to Canada
means pointing at around 30 degrees up or so. Once the whole
surveying, mounting and initial
pointing is done you will need to hook the RG6 coaxial cable up
to the Dish and run it through
the house.
DIRECTV Installation of the RG6 Coaxial Cable Not everyone
decides on using the same kind of high-quality DIRECTV
Installation system nor
decides exactly the same on where a dish is suppose should go,
pure aesthetics (personal ideal of
beauty). Outside the house, and the farther a Dish is from the
inside of the house, the more Quad
Shield RG6 coaxial cable will be needed. RG6 is the exact size
of copper cable to carry DIRECTV
broadcasting systems. Inside the house however, you can rig the
cable with less expensive RG6
cables called Dual Shield cable. During DIRECTV Installation,
when you want to run the same feed
to two spot in the same room or general direction, RG6 Siamese
cable runs two different feeds in
the same direction parallel to each other (very convenient for
basements and attics).
DIRECTV Installation of the Receiver Unit The DIRECTV
Installation of the receiver unit is probably the most exciting
part. After you have
the initial cable running from the satellite dish to the
receiver, you should then finish
pointing the dish with the coordinates that appear on the menu
in the receiver unit itself. Once
you have the dish pointing in the CORRECT direction, you can go
ahead and distribute your DIRECTV
Installation all over the house in as many or as little receiver
units as you may have planned
and already received for free or purchased extra. Then decide
which feed and IRD (integrated
receiver/decoder unit) is going to go where.
In the end everything is well hooked up and you know exactly
what goes where. You have tested the
reception from television to television every time you hooked
another one up until all rooms have
the equipment you want. First make sure you know what kind of
Satellite Dish you need, survey the
land, figure out a place with a direct line of sight to Texas,
point between 30 to 60 degrees up
in the air and go lay RG6 cable. Quad Sheild RG6 cable should be
used outside to avoid
interference with other signals. Inside the house, Dual Shield
RG6 cable should be fine for
threading signals around from room to room. The IRD receiver
unit can be used to know the correct
coordinates of the satellite in the sky and help you adjust
accordingly. Once you have properly
adjusted the dish, you can go all over the house and thread
cable as you wish, testing each
DIRECTV Installation, TV and receiver as you go, until your
masterpiece is exactly as you want
it.
