A satellite dish is a universal tool that allows you to increase the number of TV channels, but gives you access to the Internet and a number of other possibilities, especially if you use it in tandem with a computer. How to connect a satellite dish to your PC, read on.
It is necessary
- - mounting bracket;
- - puncher;
- - dowels;
- - dvb card;
- - keoxyl cable;
- - satellite data;
- - satellite antenna.
Instructions
Step 1
Install a satellite dish. Before connecting it to your personal computer, you need to install it in accordance with the recommendations that follow.
Step 2
Choose a location for installing a satellite dish that would be convenient for regular maintenance work, and would also be inaccessible to intruders.
Step 3
Also, choose a location so that the distance to the receiver is as short as possible. If your windows face south, and there are no significant obstacles in front of them, for example, large trees or tall buildings, then the antenna is best installed near the window.
Step 4
Read the instructions for assembling your satellite dish. Collect it strictly in accordance with the attached recommendations. Then take the bracket and attach it to the wall, in the place where the antenna will be located using metal dowels.
Step 5
Use a level to keep the mount as horizontal as possible. Take the special mount and fix the satellite dish to the bracket. Then orient the antenna to the south. This is due to the fact that most of the satellites are located precisely in the geostationary orbit.
Step 6
Connect the converter to the antenna to connect it to the computer. Then take a coaxial cable. Make the connections so that there are as few connections as possible and that the wire does not bend anywhere.
Step 7
Turn off your personal computer from the network. To connect the satellite dish to your computer, plug the keoxy cable into the corresponding socket of the dvb card. Then tune the antenna to receive the signal. To do this, it must be oriented to the satellites that are located in this area.
Step 8
Go to the website www.lynsat.com or www.flysat.com. There you will get the data to configure the dvb card to receive a clear signal.
