Receiving Satellite TV Signals
Television satellites are located in fixed positions above the earth’s
equator and beam TV signals down to certain regions of the planet.
To receive TV signals from a satellite, you must be located within
that satellite’s unique coverage area. To check it, see “Appen-
dix B – Satellite Coverage Map” In addition, since TV satellites are
located above the equator, the antenna must have a clear view of
the sky to receive satellite TV signals. Anything that stands between
the antenna and the satellite can block the signal, resulting in lost
reception. Common causes of blockage include lighthouses, boat
masts, trees, buildings, and bridges. Heavy rain, ice, or snow might
also temporarily interrupt satellite signals.
Turning the System On/Off
Since power to the antenna system is controlled by the IDU, you can
turn the antenna on or off by applying/removing operating power to
the IDU.
