2.5 Selecting the location

Direct Broadcast Service (DBS) satellites broadcast audio, video and data information from
Reset
satellites located 22.000 miles in space. A receiving station, such as the antenna, should
include a dish and satellite receiver to receive the signals and process them for use by the
consumer audio and video equipment. The system requires a clear view of the satellite to
maximize the signal reception.
Objects such as tall lighthouse, bridges and big ship that block this view will cause a loss
of signal. The signal will be quickly restored once the antenna has a clear line of sight
again. Heavy rain, cloud, snow or ice may also interfere with the signal reception quality.
If the satellite signal is lost due to blockage or severe weather condition, services from
the receiver will be lost (picture will freeze frame and may disappear). When the satellite
signal strength is again high enough, then the receiver will resume providing desired
programming services.
