all right so welcome to pbteck i'm prince and in this video
i'm gonna show you some things that you should avoid when it comes to satellite
installation okay so anytime that you want to install a satellite, just ask yourself
where am i going to get the satellite from. okay Every satellite have its own location
or the position whereby you're gonna get those satellite signals so get to know
the location or the position of that satellite and where you are to turn the satellite dish or
direct the dish towards to get your signal. so that should be the first thing that you should keep in
mind get to know the satellite direction or the position of that satellite. In africa most of the
satellite you have to track be it dstv multi tv mbc most of the satellites
are on the east and specifically north east okay, so get to know the northeast of your direction
before fixing your satellite so the first thing is to know the satellite that you are to track and
then where you are to direct your satellites if it happens to be that you are having a compass
your compass will actually enable you to get a signal very fast you can
buy an analog compass if you don't have an analog compass, download any mobile app, compass
mobile app and then you can also use it to know your direction okay so the next thing
will be where to fix the satellite dish, the position to fix the satellite dish. there shouldn't
be anything blocking the signal waves, because the signal microwaves have been thrown from the clouds
coming down or the space coming down so you're going to use the reflector right here the dish
you're going to use the dish to collect it and then let it pass through the cable LNB will pick
it pass through the cable to the receiver so here if you fix your satellite is at a place
whereby there's something blocking the signal waves from hitting on a reflector meaning you
won't get access to any signal at all so have in mind fix it in an open place whereby you'll
probably get the signal. okay if you do that you're gonna get a signal very fast so have your mind
whenever you are to fix any dish and there is a tree nearby which you may think it can cover the
signal with just cut it or fix the satellite at a different position or direction right whereby
you're gonna get a signal okay and the next thing will be the lmb position okay when it comes to
lnb positioning the satellite iota track or the tp will determine where you should direct your
LNB. okay, i did a video earlier showing you how you can possibly direct or position your LNB to track
any satellite at all so i'll be placing that video link in the description so you can check
it over there okay. so the LNB position have to be the next thing that you should look out
to get your signal very fast okay to install the sdv you have to be at the nine o'clock or
the three o'clock and then you adjust it a bit okay and then the next thing will be the dish pole
or the dish bar. okay that will have to be also strong and then straight enough the
dish pole or this bar right here have to be straight and strong enough in most cases there are some
satellites if you bend the pole around you bend it you unable to straighten it it will be hard to
get a signal, so in most cases people use level to know that their pole are straight enough
but in africa most of the satellites are easier to get so even if the pole is not straight enough
you can try hard and then get a signal but make sure that the pole is strong and straight enough
because the reflector will be hanging on the pole for a long period of time maybe more than
two years so make sure that it's strong enough to hold it for a long period of time and then
the next thing will be scanning to get a signal or to get the channels okay when it comes to scanning,
every fta channel that you are to get, you have to perform blind scan with paid tv's such as Dstv
canal startime, performing manual scan and other things you're gonna get all the
channels but when it comes to fta channels all the time YOU have to perform blind scan anytime
that you are performing blind scan, you are just telling the decoder that you don't know what you
are doing so it should just search through the weather any free to air channels that the signal
is available or you are having a stable signal with the TP that you are using you should just
bring it over there so whenever you perform manual scan auto scan or network scan or default scan
meaning you are telling the decoder you want some particular group of channels so it will just bring
out those group of channels so all the time if you are looking for more channels just perform
blind scan option okay. so if you find this video helpful and today's your first time discovering
