TV signal is transmitted via a Satellite in digital format. The signal
is digital, so once decoded it gives super high quality picture and
sound (like from a DVD player), and includes EPG (electronic program
guide).
Equipment required to receive Digital Satellite
A Satellite dish with a LNB - If you don't have a dish already you
can buy one, setup is quite easy with our Dish Angle
Calculator and Satellite Signal Strength Meter.
A Digital Satellite Receiver - just plug the receiver into
the Cable coming from the Dish and TV (The receiver will be setup with
all the channels tuned if you purchase it from http://www.freeviewshop.co.nz/) If new
channels are added etc. you will need to retune them - this is very easy
on our receivers. You will need one Digital Satellite Receiver per
TV.
Rain Fade
One problem that may be experienced occasionally in poor weather conditions
is that signal may sometimes not be strong enough due to atmospheric conditions
and the TV picture may break-up, you can reduce or eliminate this
problem by getting a slightly larger satellite dish
.
