What is required for a satellite setup?
The following is usually included together, and can be bought from the service provider: •Receiver (This is the decoder of the signal. Think of it as a cable box. This will come with a remote.) •Dish (This is the actual piece of equipment that sits on the roof. This should also include an LNBF.) •Access Card (This is inserted into either the front or back of the receiver. It tells the receiver what programming you’re authorized to watch. This should be included in most store bought receivers. If one isn’t supplied, your provider will have to supply one.) •Cables, etc. (All the necessary cables to connect the receiver to the TV are usually included.) Note: If you’re doing a self install, you will require additional equipment.
