Hello folks,

I just started working as an intern for a IT company. I was assigned to write up a proposal on a personal satellite television project. I would like some advice on the project.

The information I was given:
What satellite antenna I would be using: 1.2m KuBand Offset Dish Satellite (receive only)
Purpose of this project: General testing of different satellite signals
Location of installation: household flat rooftop

Given the limited information I tried to generalize a block diagram for the project.
Antenna > (RG6 Coaxial Cable- F connector) > Receiver > (HDMI) > TV

I know there can also be other components in there i.e. surge protector, power inserter, preamps, splitters...etc. I am not too sure if I need any of those.

A couple things I have questions about:
- I ordered the 1.2 satellite antenna (did not arrive yet), but the website did not say what kind of mounting it came with (i.e. king post, non-pen mount...etc.) and other foundation specification (cement block dimensions). I have to come up with how to mount the satellite as well. I will probably make make a autocad drawing of the mounting as illustration but I don't have enough information. Is there a general/popular specification for that antenna size?

- Currently, my bill of materials contains antenna, coaxial cable, receiver, LNB, and TV. I would need some testing equipment such as a signal meter for installation purposes. Is there anything else I am missing?

So to summarize, my proposal contains:
Bill of materials, satellite specs, system overview (block diagram), installation instructions (mounting and cabling), operational instructions (rotating the EL/AZ of antenna to different satellites)

Any advice would be greatly appreciated in the system overview and installation.
