Zone 1 Satellite Dish

The "44cm elliptical" designation refers to the shape and size of the dish. Unlike a traditional circular dish, the elliptical shape is longer in one direction than the other. 

This can provide a more focused and precise signal for certain types of satellite transmissions. The 44cm size refers to the width of the dish across its longest point.

Satellite dishes work by capturing and focusing satellite signals from space onto a small receiver called an LNB (low-noise block). The LNB then amplifies and converts the signal to a form that can be processed by a satellite receiver, which is typically connected to a television or other display device.

To receive satellite broadcasts with this dish, it is necessary to align it correctly with the transmitting satellite. This usually requires knowledge of the specific satellite being used and its orbital position, as well as access to specialised equipment to fine-tune the dish's alignment.

Quality Installation Guidelines: 

 1.  Do not use the antenna face to make setting adjustments; use the bracketry. 

 2.  Ensure the Wall Mount Bracket is fastened with all 4 bolts, across at least 3 bricks and do not use the mortar lines.  Never fit closer than 3 brick courses from the top of a wall or within 2 brick widths of an edge. 

 3.  The antenna system must be assembled at the point of installation; do not transport pre-assembled. 

 4.  Ensure the LNB is at the correct skew setting for the area, and the dish face is level and secure.  Always loosen the LNB clamp screw before adjusting the skew. 

 5.  Do not over-tighten the bolts.
