FREESAT TV SATELLITE DISH DIY INSTALLATION SET-UP. FREESAT TV SATELLITE DISH INSTALLATION SET-UP, SKY TV SATELLITE DISH INSTALLATION SET-UP, MULTI-SAT TV SATELLITE DISH INSTALLATION SET-UP STEP-BY-STEP SIMPLE INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW TO ATTACH YOUR FREESAT TV RECEIVER OR FREESAT TV BOX TO ANY SATELLITE DISH TUNED TO YOUR CHOSEN SATELLITE. ABERDEEN WEBSITE DESIGN HAVE BEEN ASKED MANY TIMES FOR A TUTORIAL ON HOW TO INSTALL OR SET-UP A SATELLITE DISH AND ALTHOUGH THIS TUTORIAL COVERS THE NEW BBC / ITV JOINT VENTURE VIA FREESAT IT ALSO APPLIES TO SKY TV INSTALLATIONS AND MULTI-SAT INSTALLATIONS, IN FACT THE BASIC PRINCIPLES COULD EASILY BE APPLIED FOR EXAMPLE IN EUROPE, U.S.A. OR CANADA BY SIMPLY JUGGLING A FEW FIGURES. FREESAT SATELLITE TV DISH BASICS WHICH ALSO APPLY TO ALL TELEVISION SATELLITES TRANSMITTING EITHER VIDEO OR AUDIO, FOR NEWS, CARS, MUSIC, SHOPPING, MONEY, SPORT, OR THE LATEST BROADBAND TO PC'S, LAPTOPS OR MOBILE PHONES. TOOLS NEEDED FOR A PERFECT JOB; SPANNERS, SCREWDRIVERS, STRONG DURABLE POLE LONG ENOUGH TO SUPPORT A SATELLITE DISH EITHER PRIME FOCUS OR OFFSET TYPE DISHES. LNB OR LOW NOISE BLOCK (CONVERTS THE SATELLITE SIGNAL TO SEND TO YOUR CHOSEN RECEIVER TO RETURN WATCHABLE PICTURES ON YOUR TELEVISION SET. THE LOWER THE LNB NOISE FIGURE THE BETTER, FOR EXAMPLE IF THE MANUFACTURER QUOTES: .02 IT SHOULD BE CAPABLE OF GOOD CLEAN SIGNALS. COAXIAL CABLE TO RUN FROM YOUR LNB TO YOUR SATELLITE RECEIVER PLUS TWO F-CONNECTORS FOR YOUR COAXIAL CONNECTIONS TO BOTH YOUR SATELLITE DISH AND YOUR SATELLITE RECEIVER. RUBBER AMALGAMATING TAPE TO SEAL AND MAKE WATERTIGHT THE COAXIAL CONNECTION WITH YOUR LNB AT THE DISH HEAD END. A SIMPLE TO OPERATE SATELLITE SIGNAL METER WHICH COMES WITH AN AUDIBLE TONE SIGNAL, VISIBLE DIAL SIGNAL OR BOTH, THESE CAN BE BOUGHT FOR AS LITTLE AS £10. A STAB MOTOR IF YOU REQUIRE YOUR DISH TO BE MOTORISED WHICH POWERS UP FROM YOUR SATELLITE RECEIVER USING THE SAME CABLE YOUR SIGNAL IS SENT DOWN ON FROM YOUR LNB. SOME SATELLITE RECEIVERS RECEIVE A BETTER PICTURE FROM THE INSTALLATION OF AN IN LINE AMP WHICH CAN BE BOUGHT FOR APPROX. £10, MANY WILL HAVE YOU BELIEVE AND POINT YOU TO FACTS AND FIGURES THAT THIS HAS BEEN PROVEN NOT TO WORK BUT WE HAVE PROVEN IT DOES WITH A RUN OF MORE THAN 20 METRES. IN SATELLITE TERMS CONSIDER PLANET EARTHS ROUND SHAPE BEING IN TWO HALVES AND NORTH AND SOUTH, WE ARE INTERESTED IN THE NORTH BEING IN THE NORTHERN HEMISPHERE. IN THE MIDDLE OF THE TWO HALVES WE HAVE THE EQUATORIAL LINE AND ABOVE THE EQUATORIAL LINE 33,000 MILES UP ENCIRCLING THE WORLD WE HAVE SATELLITES SUCH AS EUTELSAT, ASTRA ETC. TO TUNE INTO THESE SATELLITES WHEN IN THE NORTHERN HEMISPHERE WHERE ALL COUNTRIES IN THE NORTHERN HEMISPHERE MUST POINT THEIR DISH SOUTH TOWARDS THE EQUATORIAL BAND WHICH ENCIRCLES THE PLANET. THOSE COUNTRIES WHICH ARE IN THE SOUTHERN HEMISPHERE POINT THEIR DISHES TOWARDS THE NORTH TO THE EQUATORIAL BAND AND SIMILARLY 33,000 MILES UP IN SPACE TO THEIR CHOSEN SATELLITE. WE THEN BREAK DOWN SATELLITE POSITIONS AND AGAIN THIS IS QUITE EASY TO WORK OUT FOR THOSE LIVING UN UNITED KINGDOM, IN U.K. LONDON IS POSITIONED AT 0 (ZERO) DEGREES, WHICH IF YOU POINTED YOUR DISH AT LONDON AND 0 (ZERO) DEGREES FROM THE NORTH OF SCOTLAND THE OPEN FACE OF THE DISH WOULD POINT STRAIGHT SOUTH WHEN LOOKING AT THE MAP OF U.K. FOR THE PURPOSE OF THIS TUTORIAL WE ARE INTERESTED IN THE LONDON STARTER POINT AT 0 DEGREES, O.8 DEGREES WEST (THOR 2 & 3), HISPASAT 1B, 1C & 1D) AND TURKSAT 1C & 2A). THESE ARE OUR STARTER POINTS (O.8 WEST), OUR MAX EASTERN POINT BEING TURKSAT AT 42 DEGREES EAST AND OUR MAX WESTERN POINT BEING HISPASAT AT 30 DEGREES WEST. THIS FOLLOWING TUTORIAL IS FOR MOTORISED DISHES! TO BEGIN; WE FIND SOUTH WITH AS MUCH LINE OF SIGHT AS POSSIBLE (RISING SAP IN TREES WILL DIMINISH THE PICTURE QUALITY) TO BE ABLE TO SEE YOUR CHOSEN SATELLITE WHICH IN THIS TUTORIAL IS FOR 42 DEGREES EAST TO 30 DEGREES WEST AND ALL POINTS OR SATELLITES IN BETWEEN. WHICH CAN BE HELPED WITH LOOKING AT YOUR NEIGHBOURS DISH (USUALLY POINTING AT ASTRA TO PICK UP SKY TV) OR IDENTIFY SOUTH VIA LOCAL MAPS. NEXT WE MUST INSTALL A STRONG STURDY POLE WHICH WILL BE STRONG ENOUGH TO TAKE THE HEAVIEST WINDS REMEMBERING A SATELLITE DISH WILL BE BOLTED TO IT. IT CANNOT BE EMPHASISED ENOUGH THE POLE MUST BE 100% VERTICAL WITH NO SLIGHT LEANINGS OR A LITTLE BIT OFF, IT MUST BE 100% VERTICAL. CONCRETE THE POLE IN DEEP ENOUGH THAT IT CANNOT BE BUDGED WHEN THE CONCRETE IS DRY, IF IT MOVES YOU HAVE NOT REALLY CONSIDERED THE STRENGTH OF THE WIND. ONCE THE POLE IS CONCRETED IN TO ABSORBE THE WORST OF THE WEATHER AND IS 100% VERTICAL (USE TIES AND PEGS) WE CAN THEN BOLT ON THE STAB MOTOR BEFORE THE SATELLITE DISH ALLOWING FOR THE HAND TIGHT MOVEMENT OF THE SATELLITE DISH FROM WEST TO EAST AND ALLOWING THE DISH FOR SLIGHT INCLINATION ( SIMPLY PUT; THE BOTTOM OF YOUR DISH IS FURTHER SOUTH THAN THE TOP SO THAT THE SATELLITE DISH HAS A SLIGHT BACKWARDS LEANING). YOUR DISH IS SOLID AND 100% VERTICAL AND YOU HAVE THE LOW NOISE BLOCK OR LNB ATTACHED AND POINTING TO THE CENTRE OF YOUR DISH (PRIME FOCUS TYPE), OFFSET SATELLITE DISHES ARE MUCH EASIER TO ALIGN AND THE LNB IS OFFSET BUT STILL POINTS TO THE CENTRE OF THE DISH USING THE BRACKETS PROVIDED. NEXT WE HAVE TO TRY AND FIND A FREE TO AIR (NOT TO BE CONFUSED WITH FREE TO VIEW WHICH CAN BE SOFT ENCRYPTED) CHANNEL ON THOR AT 0.8 WEST. BBC WORLD TRANSMITS FREE TO AIR AT THE FOLLOWING LOCATION ON 0.8 WEST ON THOR 2; FREQUENCY 11325 HORIZONTAL MODULATION 24500 SYMBOL RATE 7/8 THE GREAT MAJORITY OF SATELLITE RECEIVERS WILL ALLOW YOU TO ENTER MOST IF NOT ALL OF THIS INFORMATION TO HELP YOU TO SEARCH FOR THE CHANNELS, CHECK OUT YOUR RECEIVER HANDBOOKS. TO FIND THOR 2 WHICH TRANSMITS FREE TO AIR BBC WORLD STAND BEHIND THE FACE OF THE DISH WHICH WILL BE POINTING DUE SOUTH AT YOUR IMAGINERY 0 DEGREES, WITH FACE OF THE DISH RAISED SLIGHTLY MOVE THE DISH SLIGHTLY TO THE RIGHT WHICH WILL BE WEST AND YOU SHOULD FIND THE FREE TO AIR BBC WORLD ON THOR 2 AT 0.08 DEGREES WEST (ALL MOVEMENTS AT THIS POINT ONLY NEED TO BE MINIMAL AS 0.8 DEGREES THOR SEND OUT A VERY STRONG SIGNAL AND THIS MAKES FINDING THE FREE TO AIR BBC WORLD MUCH EASIER TO FIND) IF YOU HAVE ATTACHED YOUR SATELLITE SIGNAL METER WHICH FITS ON LINE INTO THE COAXAL CABLE AT THE LNB END THIS PART IS VERY SIMPLE. MEMORISE THE STRONGEST SIGNAL INTO YOUR RECEIVER. NEXT WE HAVE TO FIND 30 DEGREES WEST. THE CHRISTIAN CHANNEL TRANSMITS FREE TO AIR AT THE FOLLOWING LOCATION ON HISPASAT 1C; FREQUENCY 11972 VERTICAL MODULATION 27500 SYMBOL RATE 3/4. TO FIND HISPASAT AND THE CHRISTIAN CHANNEL AT 30 DEGREES WEST WE AGAIN STAND BEHIND THE FACE OF THE DISH LOOKING SOUTH AND SWING THE FACE OF THE DISH WEST WHICH WILL RESULT IN YOUR SATELLITE DISH LOOKING AS IF IT IS HALF WAY TO THE MAXIMUM WEST MOVEMENT. AGAIN IF YOU ARE USING YOUR SATELLITE METER THIS CAN BE STRAIGHTFORWARD AS THIS SATELLITE TOO HAS A VERY STRONG SIGNAL. MEMORISE THE STRONGEST SIGNAL INTO YOUR RECEIVER. NOW TO FIND 42 DEGREES EAST AND TURKSAT 2A WHICH HOUSES EXPO CHANNEL; FREQUENCY 11887 VERTICAL MODULATION 3333 SYMBOL RATE 7/8. 42 DEGREES EAST IS OUR SUGGESTED MAXIMUM BEFORE SIGNAL DROP OFF USING A 1 METRE DISH IN THE U.K. AND TO BRING IN 42 DEGREES EAST NEEDS PATIENCE AND COMMON SENSE WHEN SETTING THE POSITION UP GOING EAST REMEMBERING WHERE 30 DEGREES WEST DISH POSITION WAS GOING WEST. 42 DEGREES EAST IS ALSO A STRONG SIGNAL AND AGAIN IF USING YOUR SATELLITE SIGNAL METER MAY HELP RATHER THAN USING A VISUAL PORTABLE TELEVISION AID AT YOUR DISH ALIGNMENT STATION. ONCE FOUND MEMORISE TO YOUR SATELLITE RECEIVER AS BEFORE. YOU NOW KNOW WHERE 0.8 DEGREES WEST IS AS YOU HAVE MOTORISED IT TO YOUR SATELLITE DISH AND AT THAT TIME TIGHTENED THE DISH UP ENOUGH TO HOLD IT WHEN BEING MOTORISED, YOU KNOW WHERE 30 DEGREES WEST IS AND YOU KNOW WHERE 42 DEGREES EAST IS. THESE ARE THE MAIN THREE POINTS YOU NEED TO SET UP YOUR MOTORISED SATELLITE DISH USING A STAB MOTOR. POINTS TO REMEMBER WHEN SETTING UP EACH AND EVERY POSITION; THE STAB MOTOR ITSELF IS BOLTED SOLID WHEN YOU FIND 0.8 DEGREES AND WHEN YOU BOLT IT SOLID MAKE SURE YOU HAVE ALLOWED FOR THE LESS THAN 1 DEGREE FROM 0 DEGREES TO 0.8 DEGREES OF THOR, IF YOU IGNORE THIS PART IT MAY COST YOU SATELLITE POSITIONS OR SLIGHTLY OFF SATELLITE POSITIONS WHICH WOULD DEFEAT YOUR HARD WORK ALREADY MADE ON GETTING YOUR POLE 100% VERTICAL. THE GOOD POINT IF GETTING THIS CORRECT WILL HELP YOUR HORIZON TO HORIZON EAST TO WEST MOTOR SET UP WITH YOUR STAB MOTOR. ONCE THESE THREE POSITIONS ARE PROPERLY INSTALLED AND MEMORISED INTO YOUR RECEIVER THEN TUNING IN ALL THE OTHER SATELLITES FROM EAST TO WEST WITHIN YOUR ARC LIMITS ARE QUITE STRAIGHTFORWARD. YOU ARE LIMITED TO THESE CHANNEL POSITIONS AS THE ARC OF THE EARTH BEING EVENTUALLY OVER THE HORIZON MEANS YOU CANNOT PICK UP SATELLITES BEYOND THESE POINTS. UNLIKE THE CLEVER AMERICANS WHO CAN USE A SYSTEM CALLED SATELLITE HOPPING WHICH AS THE NAME SUGGESTS CAN PICK UP SATELLITES BEYOND THE HORIZONS. DO NOT FORGET EITHER THAT THE 0.8 DEGREES IS SLIGHTLY HIGHER IN THE SKY THAN SAY 42 DEGREES EAST OR 30 DEGREES WEST AS YOU HAVE TO ALLOW FOR THE ARCS EAST AND WEST OF THE EARTH.

FREESAT INFORMATION CAN BE CHECKED ON OUR BLOG...read more! FREESAT IS A MUCH EASIER SATELLITE DISH TO ERECT AND FIT AND ANYBODY SKILLED IN A LITTLE DIY WILL MANAGE THIS EASILY. TOOLS YOU WILL NEED; SATELLITE DISH APPROX. 80CM SHOULD BE LARGE ENOUGH FOR THE WHOLE OF EUROPE. BRACKET TO FIX THE SATELLITE DISH TO YOUR CHOSEN SATELLITE DISH PLACEMENT. LNB OR LOW NOISE BLOCK WITH A LOW NOISE FIGURE OF .2 OR .3 TO MAKE SURE ALL WEATHERS WILL STILL HAVE NO PROBLEMS UNLESS SNOW COVERS YOUR DISH COMPLETELY.EITHER A LONG SOLID POLE AS DESCRIBED ABOVE OR A SOLID SURFACE WALL OR SHED TO BOLT YOUR SATELLITE DISH ONTO MINDING THE FULL FORCE OF A WINTER GAIL FORCE WIND. COAXIAL CABLE TO RUN FROM YOUR SATELLITE DISH TO YOUR RECEIVER (TRY AND KEEP THIS AS SHORT AS POSSIBLE FOR A BETTER PICTURE. A CHEAP SATELLITE METER (AROUND £10) WHICH CAN HAVE EITHER OR BOTH AN AUDIBLE TONE SOUND WHICH YOU CAN HEAR EASILY OR ONE WITH A LITTLE SCREEN STRENGTH METER. THIS METER HAS THE COAXIAL CABLE FROM YOUR SATELLITE RECEIVER PLUGGED IN AND THE OTHER END YOU MAY NEED TO MAKE A SHORT RUN OF COAXIAL CABLE TO YOUR SATELLITE METER. RUBBER AMALGAMATING TAPE TO WEATHERPROOF THE SEAL AROUND YOUR FINAL FIXTURE OF YOUR COAXIAL CABLE TO YOUR LNB OR LOW NOISE BLOCK, THE LNB GATHERS THE SIGNAL FROM YOUR SATELLITE DISH CONVERTS IT AND SENDS IT DOWN THE COAXIAL CABLE TO YOUR SATELLITE RECEIVER AND THIS IN TURN SHOWS YOU PICTURES ON YOUR TV SCREEN. HOW TO DO IT; READING THE MOTORISED TUTORIAL ABOVE YOU WILL READ THAT LONDON IS THE RECOGNISED 0 DEGREES WITH RESPECT TO SATELLITE INSTALLATIONS AND IF YOUR SYSTEM IS NOT MOTORISED YOU HAVE ONLY ONE POINT TO FIND WHICH IS ONE OF A FEW SATELLITE HOT SPOTS, MEANING FINDING IT IS EASY ENOUGH BECAUSE OF THE STRONG SIGNAL AS LONG AS YOU STICK TO A FEW SIMPLE RULES. THE FREESAT SATELLITE DISH USED SHOULD BE WHAT IS NAMED AS AN OFF-SET SATELLITE DISH WHICH MEANS THAT THE LNB POINTS TO THE CENTRE OF THE DISH FROM AN OFF-SET BRACKET, UNLIKE THE MOTORISED VERSIONS WHICH USE WHAT IS CALLED A PRIME FOCUS SATELLITE DISH ALTHOUGH EVEN WITH MOTORISED SYSTEMS AS THE STRENGTH OF THE SATELLITES GET MUCH STRONGER MORE AND MORE SYSTEMS ARE USING OFF-SET SATELLITE DISHES. LETS SET YOUR FREESAT SATELLITE DISH UP THE EASY AND SIMPLE WAY; AT YOUR SELECTED SATELLITE DISH PLACEMENT SITE DRILL USUALLY FOUR HOLES WITH LARGE PLUGS IF USING A BRICK SURFACE OR STRAIGHT INTO WOOD WITH YOUR BOLTS MAKING SURE BOTH ARE SOLID ENOUGH FOR YOUR BRACKET (THE BRACKET IS THE FIRST THING THAT WILL BREAK OR TWIST OFF IN THE EVENT YOU UNDERESTIMATED THE FIERCE WINTER WINDS.)WITH THE BOLTS PROVIDED YOU CAN NOW ERECT YOUR SATELLITE DISH ONTO THE BRACKET WITH THE FACE OF THE SATELLITE DISH FACING SOUTH. STANDING BEHIND THE FACE OF THE DISH IT POINTS SOUTH AT 0 DEGREES OR LONDON, SIMPLY MOVE THE DISH TO THE LEFT BEING EAST AND WHILE MOVING IT DO NOT BE SURPRISED TO PICK UP THE ODD SIGNAL FROM HOTBIRD AT 13 DEGREES EAST AS THIS HAS LOTS OF DIFFERENT CHANNELS AND PROBABLY ONE VERY CLOSE TO THE FREQUENCY YOU WILL ENTER INTO YOUR RECEIVER WHICH YOU WILL ENTER LATER IN THIS SIMPLE TUTORIAL. THE SATELLITE YOU WISH TO MOVE THE DISH TO IS PLACED AT 28.2 DEGREES EAST (EUROBIRD 1)AND 28.5 DEGREES EAST (ASTRA 2A,2B,2C,2D)BOTH SIGNALS BEING SO STRONG THEY CAN BE PICKED UP EASILY WITH EITHER A SATELLITE SIGNAL METER OR BY HAND USING A SMALL PORTABLE TV SET AT YOUR SATELLITE DISH ERECTION PLACEMENT SITE. TO FIND 28.2 DEGREES EAST SET YOUR SATELLITE RECEIVER TO THE FOLLOWING; FREQUENCY 11222 HORIZONTAL (THIS IS FOR 28.5 DEGREES EAST ON EUROBIRD 1) MODULATION 27500 SYMBOL RATE 2/3 AT THESE PARAMETERS YOU WILL FIND THE WONDERFUL RELIGIOUS CHANNEL WHICH IS FREE TO AIR (NOT TO BE CONFUSED WITH FREE TO VIEW WHICH IS SOMETIMES SOFT SCRAMBLED). OR YOU CAN SET YOUR RECEIVER TO BBC NEWS 24 16.9 WIDESCREEN. BBC NEWS 24 16.9 WIDESCREEN PARAMETERS ARE; FREQUENCY 10773 HORIZONTAL (THIS IS ON ASTRA 2D) MODULATION 22000 SYMBOL RATE 5/6 ONCE YOU GET YOUR STRONGEST SIGNAL MEMORISE IT INTO YOUR SATELLITE RECEIVER. ONCE YOU HAVE TWEAKED THE BEST SIGNAL OUT OF THE SATELLITE YOU CAN THEN TIGHTEN ALL THE BOLTS ETC AND THEN RECHECK IT UNTIL YOUR HAPPY. YOU CAN NOW VIEW FREESAT TV KNOWING YOU WILL ENJOY YOUR FREESAT TV SATELLITE DISH.
