Because satellites orbit above the equator at various intervals, installing a satellite dish in North America works best with a clear view of the southern sky, with no obstructions from trees, houses, buildings or any structure that could block the signal. For satellite TV, you also need a receiver and a subscription to a satellite services provider to receive a signal. After connecting the dish to the receiver and the receiver to the TV, calibrate or align the dish for a direct line-of-sight contact with the satellite for the strongest signal possible.
