Finding Suitable

STEP 2 Antenna Site

A suitable antenna site requires an unobstructed view of the southern sky, a stable antenna mounting surface, a distance of 100-ft or less for RG 6 cable from your antenna to your receiver, and grounding nearby.

NOTE: It’s important to estimate the cable length at this point.

The DIRECTV satellites are located in the southern sky above the Equator. The location for your antenna must have elevation-angle clearance (above the horizon) and 18° span clearance (from 101° to 119°) for an unobstructed view to all three satellite locations. Northern border states have elevation readings toward 30° and southern border states toward 60°.

Converted Transponders

NOTE: If you are replacing an 18" dish with a new Multi-Satellite Dish Antenna, be sure to check for the required 18º clearance. If you do not have the required clearance, you should use

a different location.

No trees, leaves, buildings can be in the line-of-sight

between antenna and satellites.

Due to the many configurations possible, mast-mounting hardware is not included. Be sure you have the necessary mounting hardware before you begin.

Optional mounting kits are available at your local electronics store. Below are potential mounting sites.
