Watch Live Satellite

Satellite TV is a viable alternative for those in rural communities without cable or Internet access.


Watching satellite TV live requires the viewer to have a satellite dish, receiver and subscription to a satellite service. Live satellite TV depends on the broadcaster. Some broadcasters don't broadcast live shows, as the costs and work associated with a live production is too expensive. However, all satellite TV channels are streamed live to viewers, meaning that all viewers can simultaneously watch the channels without a delay.


Instructions


1. Research a satellite service provider and equipment. Most satellite service providers will sell or give the equipment to the customer when they purchase a subscription. The most popular satellite TV service providers are DIRECTV, DISH Network and AT&T. They all offer standard local channels (like cable does), specialty channels and movie channels. All three are competitively priced and depending on the package and length of subscription purchased, the monthly rates are between $20 and $90, as of September 2010.


2. Purchase a subscription and equipment. Select a programming package that includes the desired channels. The more basic the package (e.g., local channels only), the lower is the cost. Many satellite companies offer free installation when a subscription is purchased. Always ask about promotions or free installation. The market is competitive and most companies will offer incentives (like free installation or a month free) to attract subscribers.


3. Install the satellite dish yourself. The most important aspect of installation is that the dish is placed facing the appropriate position (each company has a different direction or position that is optimal for installation.) The satellite's signal path shouldn't be obscured by other buildings or trees. It should be mounted securely using the methods described by the service provider.
