Q: What direction should a satellite dish face?

• <div><p>A satellite dish should face south with a view unobstructed by trees, branches, leaves, buildings, or other structures or objects. The optimal angle offset is between 22.3 degrees and 17.3 degrees. Any more or less of an angle can disrupt or disconnect the cable signal from the satellite sources to the south. The dish should be tightly secured to the metal rod or structure so that weather doesn&rsquo;t cause it to tip or tilt out of the optimal angle offset.</p></div>

Q: Can you connect to the internet without a coax outlet?

In the case of a satellite internet connection, your satellite will transmit a signal to your router without a coaxial outlet or fiber optic cable.</p></div>

I've seen Stanley Steemer on the TV and I called them. He gave me a special bill because I had them do extra rooms in the house. I would use this provider again.
