Set to Astra satellite

Buy and install satellite receivers

Before you can receive the Astra satellite, you must first buy a receiver, for example at an electronics store or on the Internet. You also need a satellite dish including an LNB receiver and a coaxial cable.

1. The bowl and receiver must be installed outside of your home, preferably on the roof.
2. Orient it roughly at 19.2 degrees East.
3. Mount the required LNB receiver on the dish and connect it to the receiver using the coaxial cable.
4. Connect the receiver and the television using a cable. For older devices this is usually a SCARTcable, HDMI connections are used with newer ones.

2. Find the menu for the basic installation settings, the name of which varies depending on the brand of the receiver.
3. In the reception settings there is an antenna configuration menu item. Here you can set which satellite the receiver should receive.
4. Select as satellite Astra and save it. Please note that you can only receive a picture if you set the satellite and also align the antenna correctly. For example, you cannot receive the Hotbird satellite with an orientation of 19.2 ° East.
5. Now perfect the alignment of your satellite dish by moving it back and forth and paying attention to the reception quality of the picture and the sound on the television set.

If you have set up all the equipment correctly and aligned the antenna perfectly, nothing stands in the way of a TV evening with a good picture.
