The dish antenna is telecommunication equipment used for receiving TV broadcast signals directly from the communication satellite. Low noise block also known as LNB is used in antennae to denoise the weak signals and amplify them for better display of information to the user. The receiver powers the LNB with current and voltage to receive the best signals and gives the user access to multiple data through a clean software experience. The dish antenna is far better and more economical than any ordinary TV cable.
Parabolic dish Antenna gives the user a smooth and high-quality watching experience with thrilling graphics. It enables the user to watch the TV programs all in Ultra high definition or UHD. The best part of a dish antenna is that you can attach as much as a larger display since the pixels won't distort. The colours of the picture are excellent, pure, clean, and precise and even you do not have to worry about installing any colour correction tools or software on your Android TV. While TV cable operators do not provide good quality channels, consumers do not get a better experience.
It gives stronger signals wherever you will need them. You can extend the wire if you want in your home. The consumer never faces any kind of glitch in his display. In contrast to this, TV cable consumers are restricted to using that cable at a certain point.
TV cable operators provide a maximum of 50 to 70 channels in one connection. But in a dish antenna, you can watch 1000s of channels. Nonstop streaming and a wide variety of channels from around the world can unleash you are watching experience. Although, you can watch your favourite movies and shows in your own and different languages. There are channels of different countries through which you can experience their culture and traditions.
The use of the DISEQ switch is beneficial in many ways. It can help in connecting different satellites on a single receiver. It means that you can connect more than 8 satellites on a receiver without any flaws. Several satellites would increase you would be able to receive at least 7000 channels at your home. It is a huge number and large collection of TV channel networks.
There are different connectors available in the market, allowing us to connect more LED displays on a single receiver. Most of the receivers are equipped with more than 4 output terminals for other displays. In opposition to this, TV cable can provide access to only 2 TVs with the connector or switch but results in poor signals and several glitches.
However, several LNBs can be installed on a single dish antenna to make efficient use of the dish while saving the space and cost of installing each dish antenna for each LNB. Users use different satellite setups in this regard. For Example: In Pakistan, a 4-foot size dish antenna is common in use. C-Band LNB is used for connecting PAKSAT-1R 38.0E satellite along with Ku-Band LNBs for Badrsat-26E, Yahsat-52.5E, and Turksat-42E. However, the parabolic reflector antenna comes in various sizes according to the requirements such as 2ft, 3ft, 4ft, 6ft, 7ft, 8ft, 10ft to 14 ft. As the size of the C-Band dish increases, the price would also increase depending on the quality of the material used by the manufacturer.
Ku-Band LNBs are widely used around the globe due to their reliability and compatibility with smaller dishes. Mostly, Ku-Band LNB is installed on 2ft to 5ft dishes as it is enough to catch the signals of a satellite that is in the lower orbit. It is much cheaper than the C-Band LNB.
Economically, a TV dish antenna setup is cheaper and more durable. It is a one-time installation, and a person can enjoy it for a lifetime as much as he can. Most of the channels are Free to Air (FTA) and only a few channels require subscription charges. TV cable operators’ subscription charges are high, and you must pay their fees and charges monthly. In case you are unable to pay their fees, they cut your connection and charge fines to make it reconnect.
Lastly, the parabolic antenna is 100% maintenance-free and does not need technical support. While TV cable consumer is required to lodge a complaint to make their connection fixed.
In addition, it would be an injustice to discuss the recent developments being made through the use of a similar mechanism. SpaceX which is owned by a multi-billionaire Elon Musk has launched a project named 'Starlink'. Elon Musk and his company are on a mission to launch hundreds of satellites into the low orbit of the earth for the non-disruptive provision of internet facilities directly from space to home cyber subscribers. It is expected that in the year 2030, we people will have cyber dish antennas at our homes to receive the internet signals that would be coming directly from the cluster of Starlink satellites. Of course, the data transmission rate would be far greater and better than the fibre optics and ethernet copper cables that result in loss of signals and distortion of information being sent to longer distances.
In a nutshell, a TV dish satellite antenna is a direct-to-home DTH-free service that can be utilized by any consumer around the globe without any restrictions. DTH is the most economical and advanced equipment to receive thousands of channels in our homes. Maintenance-free, flexibility of use, variety of UHD channels, low power consumption, easy installation and service, value for money, and software interface with the application are some of the main features that strengthen it against TV cable systems.
