ANALOG CABLE TV IS DEAD!

On February 17, 2009, federal law requires that all full-power television broadcast stations stop broadcasting in analog format and broadcast only in digital format.
Congress mandated the conversion to all-digital television broadcasting, also known as the digital television (DTV) transition, because all-digital broadcasting will free up frequencies for public safety communications (such as police, fire, and emergency rescue). Also, digital is a more efficient transmission technology that allows broadcast stations to offer improved picture and sound quality, as well as offer more programming options for consumers through multiple broadcast streams (multicasting). In addition, some of the freed up frequencies will be used for advanced commercial wireless services for consumers. See this link for more information.

In order to start viewing satellite TV, you will need a the aforementioned unit, a satellite dish, a null modem cable (included with purchase), and a diseqc switch (included with purchase). For those of you interested in viewing FTA channels, a 30" dish equipped with a singular linear LNB is required. For those of you interested in viewing premium channels, a 22" dish equipped with dual circular LNB's is required. We sell both dishes. Click here to view the product page. You will also need to point your dish towards the desired satellites that you wish to pick up. You can find a location of all of the satellites in the atomosphere along with their respective longitudes and lattitudes at www.lyngsat.com. Or you can purchase a Satellite Finder. This makes finding a satellite a piece of cake. It works by pointing the dish away from the satellites and turning the adjuster until the clear LED glows red and a noise is emitted (Starting point). When the dish nears the satellite position the LED will turn green and emit a higher pitched sound. The adjuster can then be turned for fine alignment to the dish. You can purchase one of those here.

In regards to getting your satellite dish installed in your home, we suggest you contact a local satellite dish installer in your area. You can easily find one in by thumbing through your local Yellow Pages.
