Hmm... So
you want to buy a motorized satellite system, but you don't know which
system to choose or are you confused about the different types of motors
and receivers? Then read this below, then
call or email
us if you have any questions.
When it comes
down to getting a motorized satellite system, there are many systems to
choose from. Recommendation is to always go with a
blind search (blind
scan / smart scan) receiver. So what's the benefit of a blind
search receiver? Will it help you with the installation?
Nope!
Blind search has nothing to do with the
ease of your
satellite installation. In fact,
if you think installing a motorized system is very easy, think again.
It's by far not impossible, but you do have to spend some time and be
patient. First make sure you have all the
installation equipment you need, so you don't waste time and start
getting frustrated. Here is a list of a few items that may come in
handy when you go to install your system:
-SF-95
satellite signal finder / meter
-Satellite
self installation kit
-Professional
meter & clinometer (AF1)
-14mm, 12mm,
10mm, & 7/16 inch socket & combination wrench
All the
satellite
channels are being broadcasted via transponders. Each
transponder carries a certain amount of
TV and
Radio Channels. In order for a
normal
receiver to be able to scan the
channels from a satellite, it must have the transponder programmed into
the receiver. Each transponder has 4 specifications.
1. Frequency
2. Symbol Rate
3. Polarity
4. Forward Error Correction (FEC)
In most receivers the FEC is
automatically set by the receiver, so you don't have to worry about
inputting that in the receiver. You do however need to input the
other 3 specifications, then scan in the transponder for the channels.
In case of a blind search / blind scan
receiver, the receiver will search the satellite and automatically find
the 4 specifications of the transponder. Therefore, you will
always have the latest channels that are being broadcasted off of the
satellite. Once new transponders are available, all you do is just
scan your satellite receiver. The receiver will re-program itself
with all the up to date transponder frequency, symbol rate, polarity,
and FEC.
So the choice is simple. Get a
blind search motorized satellite system and always be up to date with
all the FTA channels that are broadcasted from the Various satellites.
Below is a partial list of the various
satellites you an pick up with a motorised satellite system.
Please note, eventhough the cost of shipping of a 90cm / 36" dish is
much higher than a 76cm dish, it's recommended that you purchase a 90cm
/ 36 inch satellite dish.
