Satellite Dish Location and Size Factors

Satellite dish placement depends on satellite direction, and size depends on technology, signal strength, and potential interference from nearby satellites. New antenna technologies offer different visual characteristics.

The location of a satellite dish on a building will therefore depend on the direction of the satellite. The size of the dish will depend on the technology used, the strength of the signal and the possibility of interference from transmissions from other satellites that may be located nearby. New developments in antenna technology are bringing to the market new kinds of antennas with different visual characteristics.
