Why do I need to connect my phone to my satellite dish?

Frequently Asked Questions about Satellite TV
Connecting your satellite dish to your phone helps with billing and allows you to order pay-per-view movies and events. You must use a land-line phone; not a cell phone. Rather than calling in, you can order with your remote. Also, customers whose phones do not hook up to their satellite receiver may or may not be able to order all pay-per-view events.

Do I need to have two satellite dish antennas?

FAQ
No, but you will need to have a dish with dual LNB, which permits two satellite feed cables to be connected from the antenna to the receiver. This can be accomplished with either a round single-satellite dish with dual-LNB or an oval multi-satellite dish. In order to take advantage of all the features offered by UltimateTV, such as Picture-In-Picture and the ability to record one program while watching another, you will need to have two separate feeds to the receiver, one for each tuner.

Can I connect more than one TV set to my satellite dish?

DStv FAQs
Yes you may! In fact there are two ways to do so. One is what we call “viewing points” and means to have an additional cable run from the DSD receiver to each additional TV. There are no additional charges incurred by doing so, but you are limited to watching the same program on all the televisions connected in this way! The other way is to purchase a satellite dish with two receiver connections (a dual LNB system), and also purchase a second receiver and a second smart card.

Europe Online - FAQ - Answers
Satellite dishes receive microwave signals from orbiting communication satellites. A dish used to receive satellite signals is generally a parabolic surface that reflects microwaves to a feed. The small metal probe within this feed is, in reality, the microwave antenna. A satellite dish collects and concentrates the very weak signals downlinked from a broadcast satellite while ignoring as much of any unwanted signals and noise as possible. Most dishes in use today are parabolically shaped.

The FCC Kids Zone - FAQs
The dish is the part of satellite TV that you see the most. It is a reflector which is usually made out of aluminum. Dish sizes vary from small (3-4 feet) all the way to 16-20 Ft with the average falling between 7-12 ft, 10 ft being most common. This device focuses the microwave signals coming from the satellites much as the mirror in a reflecting telescope concentrates the light from distant galaxies.

Yes, you may put up one of the new small dishes. However, it should be placed in a location that is not visible from the road, i.e., not on your front porch roof. In some very rare cases, reception limitations require a specific placement. But for the vast majority of homeowners, there are a variety of placements that will work. Just inform the installer that you are required to place it on the back or side of your house where it is not visible from the street.
