THE PRIOR ART

Television and / or radio channels broadcasting via satellites can be watched and / or listened with the help of satellite dish antennas. Many of these channels are broadcast at different angles, and more than one dish antenna should be used to receive these transmissions.

To get transmissions via satellite; satellite dishes, LNB s, receivers, and the connections between them are needed.

Satellite dishes capture extremely weak high-frequency microwave signals from satellite dish, and reflect them to the point where LNB is located. LNBs amplify the high frequency microwave signals picked up by satellite dishes, changing the frequency band. The high frequency bands captured by satellite dishes are reduced through LNBs and are set to a format where the receiver can process them.

Receivers process such low - frequency band signals that come from LNBs through the antenna coax, converting them into television images. Therefore, the signals picked up by the satellite dishes are converted to images on TV screens.

In the prior art, the LNBs that broadcast through satellite dish antennas used are fixed onto the dish antennas at certain angles. Usually multi-piece apparatuses are used for installation of LNBs onto the satellite dish antennas. And that causes the installation's taking a long time and the dish antennas' vibrating due to workmanship defects.

In the prior art, problems originate in receiving signals due to such vibrations that happen in the satellite dishes used.

In the prior art, the installation of the satellite dish antennas used is complex and is not in a form that could be installed by users themselves. Since the number of equipments used during installation increases, challenges occur during the installation by users.

Today, it is known that there are many applications concerning dish antenna connections. One of these applications relates to the adaptation piece for LNB connection to the dish antenna that is referred to in the application number TR 2005 01 130 U. The Abstract section of the said bears the inscription "The present invention relates to an adaptation piece through (over) which goes a link rod that provides fixing of LNBs on satellite dish antennas; and it is characterized in that, it comprises a dish antenna; a mounting hole drilled onto the said dish; a rectangular prism - shaped adaptation piece; a fixing hole at the bottom of this piece; a rectangular link rod entry manhole in lateral of the said part; a link rod in appropriate for the said hole profile; the bolts and fly nuts.

Another application on the other hand relates to the apparatuses for supporting dish antennas and antenna receivers that is referred to in the U.S. application No. 2008099643.

According to this application, the dish antenna has a backrest to capture applicable and storable positions. Users can get to the said backrest by getting connected over network via modem and the desired position is set.

The dish antenna on the other hand relates to adjustment of the dish in a desired position. The said dish antennas and the dish antenna connection mechanisms on the other hand are quite expensive.

As a result, improvements are being made to the dish antenna connection mechanisms; therefore, new embodiments are needed to eliminate the above-mentioned disadvantages and to provide solutions to the existing systems.
