on the type of dish you have, the Select Dish menu will prompt
you for
more information
about your satellite
dish antenna.
If you are using a round satellite dish, you are finished selecting your dish.
If you are using an oval satellite dish, specify the number of satellite locations
from which your satellite dish antenna will be receiving signals. This number
is
equal to the number
of LNBs (Low Noise Blocks) mounted
on your dish. For
example,
if you have two LNBs, select 2 Satellite Location Dish.
While the maximum
signal strength is 100, the
signal strength you
achieve will probably be
less.Although there is no
difference in picture
quality between signal
strengths of 60 and 85,
the higher the signal, the
less likely you are to
experience negative
effects in degraded
conditions such as rain or
snow (called "rain fade").
