Satellite Dish: Buy in Nairobi, from Pro-Logic Technologies
Satellite television brings an extraordinary breadth of content to Kenyan homes — from the DSTV Compact and Premium bouquets to StarTimes satellite, free-to-air international channels, and specialised broadcasting. At the heart of every satellite TV installation is the satellite dish — the parabolic reflector that captures signals transmitted by satellites orbiting 35,786 kilometres above the equator. Pro-Logic Technologies in Nairobi supplies satellite dishes, mounting hardware, and all associated installation accessories for home and commercial setups.
How a Satellite Dish Works
A satellite dish is a parabolic (bowl-shaped) reflector antenna. The curved shape collects radio frequency signals arriving from the satellite and focuses them onto a single point — the LNB (Low-Noise Block downconverter), which is mounted on an arm extending in front of the dish. The LNB amplifies the signal, converts it from the extremely high satellite frequency (10.7–12.75 GHz Ku-band) down to a lower frequency range (950–2150 MHz) that can travel down a standard coaxial cable to your decoder without excessive loss.
The dish must be aimed with great precision at the target satellite. Geostationary satellites remain fixed above the equator, so once the dish is correctly aligned and firmly mounted, it should remain on target indefinitely — unless physically disturbed.
Dish Sizing
Satellite dish size is measured by its diameter and determines the strength of the signal it can collect. For DSTV in Kenya, which uses the SES-4 satellite at 4.8°E, the standard recommended dish size is 60cm for most urban and suburban locations. In weaker signal areas (further from Nairobi, or in areas with high rainfall affecting signal quality), a 90cm or larger dish may be required for consistent, rain-fade-resistant reception.
For free-to-air satellite services on different orbital positions, dish sizing and aiming requirements vary. Our team at Pro-Logic Technologies can advise on the correct dish size and aiming coordinates for your chosen satellite service.
Dish Materials and Durability
Quality satellite dishes are manufactured from pressed steel or aluminium, powder-coated against corrosion. Given Kenya’s varied climate — including the heavy rains of the long and short rainy seasons — corrosion resistance and structural rigidity are critical for long-term performance.
