2.3 CHOICE OF LOCATION
Direct Broadcast Service (DBS) broadcasts audio, video and data via the satellite, which is loca-
ted 35,000 km above the earth. A receiving station such as the antenna and a satellite receiver
are used to receive and process the signals from the satellite. The antenna requires a clear view
of the satellite to maximise reception.
good Signal
Objects such as trees, bridges and large houses that are in the satellite's angle of incidence will
cause a loss of signal. Heavy rain, clouds, snow or ice may affect the reception quality. If the
satellite signal is lost due to severe weather conditions, the receiver's current programme will
be terminated (the picture will freeze, or disappear). When the weather conditions allow good
reception again, the TV picture will be restored.
Note:
Before searching, point the antenna so that the rear foot points towards the north. This ensures
better stability of the antenna in gusts of wind.
