Will I need to repoint or adjust my satellite dish?
The new satellite is in the same position as the one it's replacing. This means most viewers won't need to adjust their satellite dish so long as it's in good working order.
However, if your reception is very poor, you may need to make adjustments & here's why:
- The dish may be misaligned or in poor condition (applies to cabling, LNB and other components too).
- You may be on the margin of optimal coverage and may need a larger dish. This applies if you're in the Far North (includes Bay of Islands), top of East Cape or bottom of Southland.
