    • Standard Sky TV installations
    • Free to Air or Freesat installs
  • A must for Sky+, Sky+ HD or multiroom install (Need Quad or Octo LNB)

ADVANTAGES of Satellite Dish & Quad LNB

  • This satellite dish is by far the most commonly used satellite dish in Ireland representing over 95% of all satellite dishes erected
  • This is because it's designed specifically for the Irish (and non-central UK) market
  • It's relatively inexpensive
  • It's easy to assemble and install
  • Rarely if ever will the satellite dish move even in the most extreme of weather conditions if properly installed
  • It's easy to buy replacement parts or upgrade to an Octo LNB
  • A quad LNB allows 4 feeds to be run. This means up to 4 rooms can be fed from this LNB or 2x Sky+ or Freesat+ installs

1. How to Assemble a Zone 2 Satellite Dish

List of satellite dish components

  • 60cm Satellite Dish
  • Wall Bracket
  • Wall Tube (Arm)
  • Elevation Bracket
  • Dish Bracket
  • Fixing Kit
  • Feed Arm

Tools Needed to Assemble Satellite Dish

  • 10mm, 13mm socket and ratchet
  • Philips screwdriver

Steps to Assemble Satellite Dish

  • Open fixing kit and select U-bolts (qty: 2), nuts (qty: 4)
  • Insert the U bolts through the wall bracket
  • Thread on the nuts
  • Insert the arm and tighten the nuts using 10mm socket and ratchet
  • The wall bracket & arm assembly is complete
  • Next insert U-bolts (qty: 2) through the elevation bracket
  • Loosely tighten nuts
  • Attach the elevation bracket to the dish bracket
  • Using bolts and washers (qty: 4), tighten with 13mm socket and ratchet
  • Use the bolts and nuts (qty:4) and the Philips screwdriver to attach the dish bracket to the dish
  • Use the long threaded bolt and small nut to attach the feed arm to the back base of the dish bracket so the arm protrudes in front of the dish
  • Finally insert the LNB (and plastic insert) into the end of the arm and secure with a tie wrap

2. How to Mount a Satellite Dish

Equipment needed to mount a satellite dish on a wall

  • Zone 2 satellite dish, complete with wall bracket and arm
  • Coach bolt M8 x 50mm & 10mm plastic plugs (qty: 4)

Tools needed to mount on a wall

  • Cordless drill - ideally a 24-36v SDS Drill
  • 8mm, 10mm drill bits
  • 10mm, 13mm socket and ratchet
  • Satellite meter

Criteria on where to mount the satellite dish?

  • Dish must face South East (141 degrees i.e. direction of sun 11am BST)
  • Wall must be a solid surface capable of carrying weight of satellite dish
  • Signal must not be blocked by houses or trees (signal is coming in at 21 degrees to the horizontal)
  • Place at back or gable end of house to minimise visual intrusion
  • Place as close at possible to TV room to which the satellite cables are to connected so as to minimise cable run

Steps

  • Place the wall bracket and arm in the correct location
  • Use the cordless drill and 8mm drill bit to drill 4 guide holes
  • Use 10mm drill bit to drill holes to a depth of 60mm
  • Insert the 4 plastic plugs in the holes and mount the wall bracket using the 4 coach bolts
  • Tighten the coach bolts using the 13mm socket and ratchet
  • Attach the satellite dish to the arm of the wall plate
  • Use 10mm socket to lightly tighten the dish 'U'-bolts so they are fixed to arm but the dish can still be rotated
  • Follow steps in the how to align a satellite dish guide

3. How to Align a Zone 2 Satellite Dish

  • Having already mounted the satellite dish on your wall
  • Attach your satellite meter to the dish LNB
  • Align the dish so that it is (1) perfectly vertical, (2) pointing south east (141 degrees).
  • Rotate the dish slowly over and back
  • Repeat adjusting the tilt angle by 1 or 2 degrees to until a signal is found
  • Tighten the U-bolts and side bolts using the 10mm & 13mm sockets
  • Disconnect the satellite meter
  • Connect a cable with an 'F-type' connector from the dish to the satellite box
  • Check that the signal is working

4. How to Run Cables & Attach Connectors

The next step is to run satellite cable to the satellite receiver

Tools needed

  • Hammer
  • Snips
  • Drill
  • SDS Drill Bit 10X450

Equipment

  • Satellite Installation Kit

Prior to beginning you must decide

  • Decide how to run cable
    • Connect into existing cables in the attic
      • Normally neater but requires additional connectors
      • May need a multi-meter to be able to identify the correct cable
      • May result in longer cable runs
    • Run a cable directly from the satellite dish to the satellite receiver
      • Fastest and easiest way to run a cable
      • Cable runs are normally shorter
      • Requires the drill of a hole through a wall

STEPS

  • If the satellite receiver is to be located next to the external wall of a room
    • Use a drill and an SDS Drill Bit 10x450 to drill a hole through the wall
    • Ensuring to drill from the inside out
  • To conceal broken plaster use either
    • Hole tidy (insert inside and out before the cable is run)
    • Cable cover nailed onto the outside wall after the cable has been run
  • Feed the end of the satellite cable through the wall leaving enough cable to reach the front of the satellite box
  • Now start tacking the cable using 7mm clips and a hammer
  • Ensuring that the cable runs down from the hole that been drilled in the wall
  • This will stop water following the cable into the house
  • Continue tacking the cable
    • Run cable vertically or horizontally but NEVER diagonally
    • If possible hide cable under the plinth or behind drain pipes (using 300mm cable ties)
  • Cut the cable leaving enough length to reach the LNB of the dish
  • Put on an F connector on the each end of the satellite cable
  • Screw the F connector on to the LNB
  • Seal the connection using Insulation tape or ideally waterproof self amalgamating tape
  • Secure the cable to the dish feed arm using either 300mm cable ties or Insulation tape
  • Final step is to put on an F connector on the satellite cable next to the satellite receiver

How to Put on F-Type Connectors

5. How to Install Your Satellite Receiver

  • Unpack the box
    • Satellite receiver
    • Remote control
  • Screw the lead from the satellite dish into the LNB in connection
  • Connect a scart or HDMI cable from your TV to the box
  • Plug in the power lead
  • Turn on the power switch on the back on the box
  • After 5-6 seconds the box will come on and should automatically switch TV to AV channel
  • You may need to switch AV channel on TV if it does not automatically switch over
Freetv gave me great advice on what to buy and thte kit arrived within a day. the instructional videos were very helpful, although it would also be nice to have something written that you can printout to look up when up a ladder, but thats a minor thing becuase the videos are so clear and informative.

the kit is very comprehensive and contains anything you might need.
Great service, really comprehensive website. Easy to get what i needed and very quick delivery with excellent communication. I've shopped here a number of times and will certainly do so again.
Part arrived day after I placed the order. Easy to assemble and align, would recommend this product.
Dish arrived the day after I placed the order. Was simple to assemble and fit, once I aligned the dish to the recommended angle for my location I got strong signal immediately. Good product, would recommend.
The dish was delivered very quickly . Once set up worked perfectly.

Great dish, easy to install, align by myself and everything worked perfectly. Would be good if the lnb cable rain cover came down a tiny bit more than it does but excellent product and delivery as always was really quick.
Good dish, easy to assemble with online video (although video is on a slightly different model of the dish, and the connections are bit different). The price is great also.
Great service ,used before,will do so again
Excellent prompt service with items well packaged and good value for money also.
