How high does a satellite dish need to be?

If the satellite dish is installed on a roof without a chimney, it should not project above the highest part of the roof. If it is to be installed upon a roof with a chimney, it should not be higher than the highest part of the chimney or 60 cms above the highest part of the roof, whichever is the lower.

Can I install a satellite dish myself?

Rather if you have Dish, AT&T, or cable and you are planning on getting satellite service for your home, you don’t need to call a professional installer. Even if you don’t have much construction experience, you can set up a satellite dish. Once you find an exact spot for your dish, mount it in place.

Will satellite dish work through trees?

The short answer to the first question is yes: trees can indeed be responsible for blocking satellite signals. It’s actually the leaves that are to blame, and wet leaves make things worse. This is why during bad weather, you’ll find your picture breaks up a lot more, or possibly even disappears altogether.

Does a bigger satellite dish improve signal?

A larger dish may also be beneficial on the basis that it would pick up a bit more signal and give a better Carrier to Noise(C/N) or Modulation Error Ratio (MER) reading resulting in a more robust signal less likely to fail in the wet weather.

Can a satellite dish be installed in the attic?

You can put a satellite dish in a loft but it won’t work. This is because the frequencies that the satellite dish uses are too high to be able to penetrate your roof tiles and require line of sight. This means that the satellite dish must be installed outside in order to be able to obtain a usable signal.
