Larger dishes have advantages |
| |
|
When it comes to satellite
reception, a bigger dish is better; ask the salesman for the choices on
dishes. Choose a bigger dish or if choosing a small dish, consider
building a shelter around the dish, especially if the area is affected
by heavy rain, snow or strong storms. |

DBS offer great services |
|
|
|
When choosing between cable and
DBS, DBS has great advantages such as more programming choices, and
depending on the channels requested, the price of DBS is almost always
lower than cable. A disadvantage of DBS is that you may have to pay
extra for viewing local TV programs. |

For basic DBS dish maintenance,
and if reachable, carefully check on the antenna’s mounting bolts and
make sure they are not jammed, grease the bolts if needed making sure
the antenna can move freely when it needs to move to lock on the signal. |

How to choose a DBS service
provider |
| |
|
Choosing a
DBS service provider
is a tough decision to make; compare all systems available and evaluate
the wide range of options offered, which may go from one company
offering better prices for the channels
chosen to another offering huge
expandability in TV channels. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Choose programming carefully |
| |
|
Beware of the choices given in
pre-set packages; some DBS providers offer packages of 100 or more
channels of which many channels are blank screens playing only music,
while other channels may be of little or no interest at all. |
