SATELLITE TELEVISION: THOUSANDS OF TV CHANNELS • BEST PICTURE • NO MONTHLY SUBSCRIPTION Paperback – August 4, 2010

Practical Guide to Understanding and Perfecting Satellite TV Reception Discover how to achieve perfect satellite TV reception – without monthly fees!Engineer Mihajlo Andrić reveals how geometry, mathematics, and precise calculations can optimize satellite dish alignment far beyond standard installation methods. Learn what “true south” really is, how to calculate the distance to a satellite, and understand the movement required for a motorized dish to follow Clarke’s Belt — all explained in this unique and practical guide for engineers, enthusiasts, and curious readers alike.From the moment he obtained his first television set, the author pursued the best possible picture quality and the widest selection of channels. Dissatisfied with the limitations of terrestrial and cable television, he turned to satellite technology and began a detailed technical exploration.Using his knowledge of descriptive geometry and mathematics, combined with engineering precision, he created his own drawings and performed all calculations himself. The result was a perfectly aligned system capable of receiving excellent signals from all available satellites.The Heart of the Book — Chapter 8This chapter presents the author’s original geometric-trigonometric method that enables anyone — using only a standard calculator with trigonometric functions — to determine, from any point on Earth:• the exact distance to any accessible geostationary satellite• the angle between the vertical and the line of sight to that satelliteSuch a complete and clearly explained derivation is rarely found in technical literature.What Makes This Book UniqueThis work stands out for its exceptional clarity and precision.Chapter 8 contains a completely original spatial-geometric method for calculating satellite distance and elevation from any point on Earth, using only basic trigonometry — a procedure almost never presented this clearly in technical publications.The approach reflects deep engineering insight and decades of practical experience, giving the book value both as a practical guide and as a technical reference.The book also includes a concise glossary of terms, as well as advice on equipment selection, motorized dish adjustment (DiSEqC), and optimal audio-video connections. Essential reading for engineers, hobbyists, satellite TV users, and anyone who wants to understand how satellite television truly works. Read more
