Setting up a Ku Band dish with an Actuator and a Dish Mover - The Moving Satellite Dish

THE HAPPY SATELLITE NERD EPISODE 83
What I have done over the summer is move the 4 foot Satellite Dish into my Garden with a pole cemented 3 feet into the ground and ran the cables and wires though a pipe under the ground. The power wires allow the Actuator to be moved by the dish mover inside making it possible to move to other satellites on the geosynchronous orbit belt.

Can a satellite dish be installed on the ground?
In cases were a suitable wall or roof mount is not possible, a common option is to install a ground post. A ground post is almost never as stable as a wall or roof mount, however by selecting the proper mast material and installing in concrete, a ground mast can provide a suitable mount for a satellite dish.

Can I connect satellite dish directly to TV?

Most televisions have more than one HDMI port, so choose the one you prefer. Finally, turn on your TV and press the satellite button on your remote.
