1. Satellite Antenna (Dish)
- A satellite dish (also called an antenna) is essential for receiving the satellite signals that Sky Perfect TV transmits. The dish is usually mounted outside your home, on the roof or balcony, to get a clear line of sight to the satellite in the sky.
- Dish Size: The size of the satellite dish can vary, but it's typically around 45 cm to 60 cm in diameter in Japan.
2. Set-Top Box
- In addition to the satellite dish, you'll also need a set-top box to decode the satellite signal and allow you to view the content on your TV. Sky Perfect TV usually provides or requires a compatible set-top box when subscribing to their service.
3. Installation
- Installation of the satellite dish is usually provided by Sky Perfect TV when you sign up for the service. They will install the dish and the necessary equipment to get you set up, so you can start watching immediately after installation.
- If you decide to self-install, you’ll need to ensure that the dish is correctly aligned with the satellite in orbit.
Alternative for Indoor Use (IPTV or Streaming):
While a satellite dish is required for traditional satellite TV viewing, Sky Perfect TV also offers IPTV (Internet Protocol Television) and streaming options for some of its channels. If you have a good internet connection, you may be able to access some Sky Perfect TV content via their Sky PerfecTV! On Demand or other streaming services without needing a satellite dish.
Summary
To watch Sky Perfect TV using traditional satellite reception, you need a satellite dish (antenna) along with a set-top box for decoding the signal. However, if you're using streaming options, you may not need the antenna.
