Changing the Location of Your Dish Network Dish - Easily
By Mitchell Medford
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.
