How to Connect a Home Theater to a Satellite TV System

Setting up a home theater that is connected to your satellite receiver is one way to optimize your satellite TV subscription. Amplify your satellite TV system with your home theater’s surround sound components. You can also switch several devices like DVD players, VCRs and other audio systems with this set-up.

Here’s how:

Prepare the following: satellite receiver, home theater receiver, coaxial cable, composite/component or HDMI video cable, stereo RCA audio cable and an optical digital audio cable.

Connect the coaxial cable to the input jack of your satellite receiver.

Connect the video output of your satellite receiver to the inputs at the back of your home theater receiver.

Hook your satellite receiver with your home theater receiver through the respective ports present in the 2 components. Composite cables are available on most modern devices but they offer only analog signal with inferior video quality and no HD capabilities. Component cables on the other hand can transmit full HD video and are also common in today’s modern receivers. The best port is HDMI which is a single cable that transmits the highest quality, all-digital signal.

Connect the audio output of your satellite receiver to your home theater receiver. Use the receiver's digital audio out and an optical cable to connect to the home theater, if possible. This will enable digital audio streams in your surround sound system. Otherwise, use a standard stereo RCA cable instead.

Connect the video output of your home theater system to the video input of your TV with the same cables type. This will enable you to receive consistent images in your TV.

Secure all connections.

Turn on your television, satellite receiver and home theater system for testing. Check your video and sound output.

Do I Need A Phone Line to Receive Satellite TV? http://ping.fm/58ayd

Do I Need A Phone Line to Receive Satellite TV?

The short answer is—no, you don’t. Satellite TV is entirely an over-the-air service provisioning, which means that you don’t need a cable line, a telephone line or any other physical lines to enjoy Satellite TV service.

Satellite TV gets all programming via a satellite dish which in turn collects the signals beamed by an orbiting satellite, which in turn also receives the signals coming from the service provider. A setup box, also known as satellite TV receiver is used to decrypt these signals.

So, in order to receive and enjoy satellite TV, all that is needed is a satellite dish and a satellite receiver—that’s about it. You don’t need cables and definitely no phone lines.

Satellite TV Comparison: NETFLIX VS SATELLITE TV VS CABLE

Let’s compare Satellite TV providers against Cable TV (their biggest rival in the pay-TV industry) and another service called Netflix.

Cable TV. Although satellite TV came a few years later than the cable service, they have already amassed a great number of subscribers over the years. Digital channels, cheaper packages and a wide range of product choices – these are few of the advantages satellite TV used to have over cable TV. But now, digital cable is strongly being advertised by cable companies as well. What would happen to satellite TV?

Netflix. This company offers TV viewing service by renting DVD and Blu-ray discs to its subscribers for a fixed monthly rate. Instead of getting a pay-TV subscription, Netflix subscribers may settle for monthly rentals to get their daily TV fix. Should they be considered a threat by the big satellite TV players?

To compare satellite TV providers “pros and cons” against these competitors.
