7.1 Receiving Satellite TV signals

Television satellites are located in fixed positions above the Earth's equator and beam TV
signals down to certain regions of the planet. To receive TV signals from a satellite, you
must be located within that satellite's unique coverage area. To check it, see "Appendix B
– Satellite Coverage Map" In addition, since TV satellites are located above the equator,
the Free Way antennas must have a clear view of the sky to receive satellite TV signals.
Anything that stands between the antenna and the satellite can block the signal, resulting
in lost reception. Common causes of blockage include tall houses, bridges, buildings and
big trees. Heavy rain, ice, or snow might also temporarily interrupt satellite signals.

7.2 Turning the system On/Off

Since power to the Free Way antennas is controlled by the Control Box, you can turn the
antenna on or off by applying/removing operating power to the Control Box.
