There are very few things that can interrupt your dish sattelite reception and if they do, the solutions are simple. If you are receiving, for example, a “bad or No Signal” message on your receiver, or if you are getting audio that is out of sync with the picture, your dish sattelite alignment may need to be fine tuned. A loose bolt on the dish mounting, or high winds, are likely culprits, or perhaps the kids bumped or struck it with a ball. As long as there is no damage to the dish itself, it should only require a few minor degrees of adjustments—provided the dish sattelite hasn’t moved much. If it is completely out of line, you may need a signal meter to help realign the dish to one of the orbiting television satellites. A dish sattelite provider, such as Dishnetwork, transmits the broadcast signals from satellites orbiting in a band at about the level of the equator. The television satellites are all in geosynchronous orbit, meaning that they stay in one place in the sky. Each satellite is launched into space at about 7,000 mph (11,000 kph), reaching approximately 22,200 miles (35,700 km) above the earth. At that speed and altitude, the satellite will revolve around the planet once every 24 hours, the same time it takes the earth to make one full rotation. In other words, the satellite keeps pace as the world turns. With proper installation and directional aiming, your dish sattelite should never have to be physically adjusted. The dish picks up the signal without adjustment, as long as unusually high winds — or target practice with a basketball — aren’t at fault. Related Articles The Clear Appeal of
