Satellite dish - you should pay attention to this when buying

Below we tell you what to look out for when buying a new satellite dish:

• Size matters: For a multi-person household, we recommend a larger satellite dish with a diameter of 60 cm or more. Smaller satellite dishes are often of insufficient quality.
• So that the signal can also be converted, you need the right receiver for the bowl to watch TV. This must be compatible with the satellite dish.
• You also need a so-called signal converter (LNB) to convert the signal. If there are several users, you should choose a converter with several channels.
• Some satellite dishes lack the material to attach the dish. Pay attention to whether this is included with your purchase or whether you have to take care of a suitable fastening yourself.
• Since the satellite dish is exposed to wind and weather, it should be rustproof.
• Of course, you have to connect the satellite dish to the receiver using an antenna cable. This cable is already included in most satellite dishes. If not, you have to buy an antenna cable.
