Receiving Satellite TV Signals
Television satellites are located in fixed positions above the Earth’s equator and beam TV
signals down to certain regions of the planet. To receive TV signals from a satellite, you must
be located within that satellite’s unique coverage area. To check it, see “Appendix B –
Satellite Coverage Map”
In addition, since TV satellites are located above the equator,
WSTA-DP250PMS antenna must have a clear view of the sky to receive satellite TV signals.
Anything that stands between the antenna and the satellite can block the signal, resulting in
lost reception. Common causes of blockage include lighthouses, boat masts, trees, buildings,
and bridges. Heavy rain, ice, or snow might also temporarily interrupt satellite signals.
