existing cables.
In some cases in order to connect a satellite TV receiver the
phone line may need to be split if there is any DSL connection
in the house. The rear panel of a satellite TV receiver comes
with all important card access, the receiver ID number, AC power
input, phone jack, Dolby digital outputs, antenna input (if you
wish to connect to an off satellite antenna or analog cable
system), TV/VCR output, S-Video Output, and Component Video
Output and the Sat In, which connects the coaxial cable from the
satellite dish antenna. The instruction manual gives all the
information you need for anyone installing it themselves.

usually cheaper but can receive signals from only one satellite.
An analogue satellite TV receiver has built in antenna
controller which can steer a motorized dish from one satellite
to another.

strength of incoming signals from the satellite. This job is
done equally well by an analogue satellite TV receiver or a
digital satellite TV receiver. Multi-mode switches allow one
satellite TV receiver to provide video to more than one house.
