3.1 Signal Reception
The SpeedRay™ 1000 antenna can be used
to receive satellite television via the Direct
Broadcast Satellite (DBS) satellites, located
5,000 km in space. This system requires a
clear view to the skies above the equator to
maximize the signal reception. Other factors,
such as satellite coverage area, elevation
angle, and weather also contribute to the
signal quality (Figure -1).

3.3 Azimuth and Elevation
The DBS satellites are located in the skies
above the equator. The SpeedRay™ 1000
is a sophisticated mobile antenna with a
satellite recognition and tracking system.
The antenna automatically determines and
maintains the proper azimuth and elevation
angle without user intervention. This
enables the system to receive satellite TV
while stationary or in motion.
3.2 Satellite Coverage
You must be located within the satellite’s
coverage area for proper reception. As you
begin to travel outside of this coverage area,
the signal becomes weaker.
3.4 Line of Sight (LOS) Interruption
The SpeedRay™1000 needs a clear line
of sight (LOS), or view to the satellite for
uninterrupted reception. Objects such
as buildings, mountains, bridges, tunnels
and trees that block this view will cause
a loss of signal (Figure -). The signal
will, however, be quickly restored once the
antenna has a clear LOS again.
