How to choose an antenna

Currently, satellite television is quite popular. With the transition to satellite television, your problems with the cable will completely disappear. The signal that comes from the satellite is completely continuous.

The digital signal provides the highest quality image. In addition, stereo sound and high clarity of the image are provided to you. With the help of satellite television, you can watch channels in different languages.

The most widespread offset antennas.

They are equipped with an oval form of the reflector and a displaced focus. These antennas are installed almost vertically, due to this, atmospheric precipitation does not accumulate. Such antennas are most effective. In addition, due to the displaced center of gravity, offset antennas withstand strong gusts of wind, and the reflector is not shade. An additional converter can be installed on the offset antenna, this will make the signal of 2-3 satellites at one time. This fact must be taken into account with the independent installation of a satellite antenna at home. Before you purchase a satellite antenna, decide on which channels and from which satellite do you want to watch.

For good reception of signals in Russia, antennas are required with a diameter of 0.9 to 2.4 meters. A small satellite coating area will give a weak signal, in which case the antenna of a larger diameter is required. In addition to the shape of the reflector when choosing an antenna, attention should be paid to the receiver. This device accepts the decrypted signal that comes from the converter. Its functionality depends on which receiver in the antenna. The easiest receiver is suitable for watching free channels. The ability to watch paid channels gives a receiver with cartridges.

To keep a record you need a receiver with the ability to connect a Flash dropper.

Basic principles of choice of antenna:
