It would seem that building an antenna system, reliable and stable for many years of operation, is very simple. Just buy an antenna and connect it to the receiver with an appropriate cable. Nothing could be further from the truth! Though there are certainly happy exceptions.
For each active antenna there is included an antenna power supply with a branching filter (separator). It is used to remotely supply DC power to the preamplifier, permanently built into these antennas.
There are many areas in Poland that are in quite a difficult situation in terms of proper reception of digital terrestrial television DVB-T signals. And this is despite the increasingly dense network of transmitters and antennas supporting the primary beam.
The launch of a new transmitter for VHF band (MUX-8) has increased the possibility of receiving digital terrestrial television by several additional DVB-T programmes.
While following industry forums recently, we came across a discussion like this: A forum member was having trouble with his signal and asked what kind of meter he should buy or borrow to be able to set up his satellite dish correctly. One of the "experts" advised him quote "Why do you need a meter when you have a dish?". Despite the validity of this very pertinent comment, we decided to expand on the topic a bit. I also hope that the author of this comment meant a satellite dish, and not some other instrument or device.
