Triax TV Satellite Dishes

Your Guide to Getting a Triax Satellite Dish

Installing a fibreglass satellite dish from eBay will give you a huge number of new options for your television. It is also a fairly easy project, so it is a good choice for people who like to do work around the home. It will take some effort, but many people find that the results are more than enough to justify it.

A Triax satellite dish is only one part of a larger system. Installing and using your dish will require a few other components as well. It is common to bundle those with the dish, so it is important to have a basic understanding of the parts that you might encounter. You'll need:

• Dish: The Triax satellite dish itself is the most important part of the system since it is responsible for receiving the signals that allow the system to work. There are a few different types that are designed to work in different satellite dish zones, so you will need to check the requirements for your area before you make your final choice.
• Mounting hardware: You will need to firmly secure your dish in place to make sure that it can remain in the right position to receive signals. Simple poles and brackets make up the bulk of the mounting hardware for most systems.
• Electronics: The Triax satellite dish also requires a bit of wiring and some controls in order to function.

This is a fairly quick project, especially for people who already have DIY experience, but you do need to pay attention to timing so you can avoid finishing your installation in bad weather. Most people will be able to get it done within a few hours, although it is a good idea to leave a little bit of extra time in case you make mistakes. In general, the easiest solution is to wait for an afternoon with clear weather and to assume that it will take the rest of the day.

Both options are available. Some kits are focused on the initial installation and include everything that you will need, while others provide specific parts for use with repairs. You may want to do some comparison shopping to figure out which option will work for you.
