Figure 9-4: In this drawing, you can see that the television LNBF is offset a few degrees.
Clearly, the satellite you want to use for receiving television broadcasts
should be relatively close to the satellite you're assigned to for Internet
access. So if you use a HughesNet satellite for Internet access, you'll probably
have to subscribe to DirecTV and let them know to which HughesNet Internet
satellite you're assigned. Likewise, if you're a StarBand subscriber, a DISH
Network EchoStar satellite may be most compatible.
You can install the BOW, adding access to a television satellite, at any time.
You don't have to install a BOW as part of your initial installation, but you may
want to run the necessary TV cabling then anyway. It saves you hassle if you
decide to add the BOW at a later date.
