Mounting and aligning satellite dishes and terrestrial antennas — signal strength and quality, LNB setup, cabling, and decoder/receiver configuration. Learn a trade you can start earning from immediately.
Every household that wants satellite TV needs a dish mounted, aligned and configured correctly — and a poorly aligned dish means a customer with no signal. This course trains you to install and align satellite and terrestrial antennas properly, every time.
You'll learn to read a signal meter, not just guess at alignment — the difference between a technician customers call back and one they don't.
