Guide to Mounting your Satellite DishAdam Maywald The Dish Network satellite dish is only about 2 feet in diameter. Very much a space saver when it comes to mounting the satellite dish on a wall, fence or garage! Since the satellite dish is small, it is also light and not bulky in size, this also makes it easier to mount. Satellite dishes have two antennaes which are pointing back to the dish and shooting off into the blue sky. These 2 receiver antennas help bring in a signal to your dish and display the signals they receive on your television. If you purchase a satellite dish brand new, you wont have to worry about mounting it, because your local satellite installation crew will do all the installing for you. They dont want you trying to climb up a 10 foot ladder to mount their dish, so theyll do it for you, which is usually free anyways. But if you do have to mount your dish yourself, make sure you have the Dish Network satellite pointing directly into the sky away from trees, little children and buildings. By following this step, you will be able to receive the most premium possible signal from your satellite dish. This will also provide quality viewing on your television screen! If you wish to not mount the dish on your home you can also go another route. Most satellite dish providers have tripod stands for you. This is a great alternative if your apartment or condo complex doesnt allow you to nail anything to their exterior walls. One downfall with the tripod is it can be very finicky. Make sure you put the tripod and satellite dish in an area away from people and dogs or any animal of either species for that matter. I have had some problems with guests bumping and every so gently tapping the tripod and the TV goes blank..."Looking for signal" is what youll see on your television. Even the slightest nudge could result in you jumping out of bed in your pajamas and slightly tapping the satellite dish until the signal is received again. Whats funny about that is the slightest tap can effect the signal its receiving, but rain, snow nor wind wont usually effect the signal...go figure
