Are you planning on receiving a Satellite reception system from Dish Network or another satellite TV provider but are unclear about the way a satellite dish works? Here is your answer. A Satellite Dish is an antenna designed to accept the transmission and is a top component of satellite TV providers, like as Dish Network. The ordinary satellite Dish of Dish Network and other providers consists of a parabolic (bowl-shaped) surface and a middle feed horn. A controller sends the received Radio or TV signal from the satellite through the horn, and the dish focuses the signal into a rather thin beam. The narrow beam is made as the dish reflects energy from the feed horn. The dish antenna at the receiving (where the purchaser or the TV is located ) end may merely receive information like TV programs , it cannot send out information. The receiving dish it is working in the exact opposite method of the Dish on the transmitter side. When a beam hits the curved dish, the parabola mold reflects the radio signal inside onto a specific point, just like a concave mirror focuses light onto a precise position. The curved dish focuses the incoming radio waves onto the feed horn. The feed horn after that passes the signal into the receiving equipment. Ideally, there will be no obstructions, such as trees to interfere with the signal from the satellite to the Dish Network satellite dish. With no obstructions you receive a much clearer picture or Radio . A number of systems are planned to receive signals from more than one satellite. A new dish invention uses two or additional horns to receive various satellite signals, from different directions . As the beams from different satellites hit the curved dish, they bounce at different angles so that one beam hits one of the horns and one more beam hits a different horn. The most important part in the feed horn is the LNB (low noise block down converter) The LNB amplifies the radio signal reflecting off the dish and filters out the noise (radio signals not carrying programming). The LNB passes the amplified, filtered signal to the satellite TV receiver inside the viewer's house. A cable named coax is running from the Dish Network satellite dish into the house and then connects to the satellite TV receiver (black box) thus completing the connection.
