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: What elements influence the overall expense of setting up a satellite dish system?

• <div><p>Costs depend on dish size, labor, mounting complexity, and additional receivers or signal boosters required.</p></div>

Q: Can I install a satellite dish myself?

• <div><p>DIY installation is possible but not recommended, as professional services ensure optimal signal alignment and secure mounting.</p></div>

Q: Where does coax cable connect to?

• <div><p>Coax cable connects to your television, modem, or cable box. Look for a female coax connection on these devices. Your coax cable will connect to any of these. The other end of the wire runs to the service connection coming into the house.</p></div>

These people do not want business very bad. First they bulked at the area (approx. 1500 sq. ft.) we wanted serviced. Then they asked for our address and we were told they do not come out that far south. So why did they send us a flier in the mail advertising their business if we were too far out...
