Hi all, we are looking to get a bit more into satellite stuff. When first fixing we will run all the coax's etc, but that's as far as we go.

What I'd like to know is if there is anything decent online or any decent books worth buying. We're just looking to get to know a bit more of the background of it as obviously most of it is simple enough!

Cheers in advance!

What sort of "satellite stuff" TV or data or both

 

[Resu]

Sorry should have said TV, mostly sky or freesat. There are no official sky installers in our area so thought it would potentially be something good to get into

It's relatively easy to set up a satellite dish for TV

Sites like this make the site survey easier. Sky is broadcast from the Astra 2A satellite

It might be worth getting some cheap kit and get some practice setting it up

As far as I'm aware working for sky directly doesn't leave you enough time to do the job properly.

Adding in into a job you are already doing and setting up for freesat is a skill worth having though.

That's why you find so many sky installed dishes are not fully lined up and receiving the best signal

yes but if you subby to sky you get loads of time, no need for harness, hard hat, bolt into wall to hold ladder etc
