Satellite Offset Antenna DIPOL AS-120/DPL-G 120 cm — offset parabolic reflector, 120cm dish

DIPOL AS-120/DPL-G is a 120 cm offset parabolic satellite antenna designed to receive DVB-S and DVB-S2 satellite television signals. The 120 cm reflector increases antenna gain compared with smaller dishes, improving reception stability in areas with moderate to weak satellite signal strength. Its offset geometry reduces blockages from masts and support hardware, and the dish is suitable for single-LNBF installations or multifeed setups for receiving multiple satellites.

Advantages

The 120 cm offset reflector delivers higher gain and improved signal-to-noise ratio for clearer reception of SD and HD broadcasts. The offset design minimises feed shadowing and allows a compact aiming setup while maintaining effective collection area. Constructed for residential and small communal installations, the antenna supports single or multiple LNBFs and is compatible with standard satellite mounting hardware. The dish’s size and geometry make it a practical choice where improved reception margin is required without resorting to larger professional arrays.

Suitable for

• Receiving DVB-S and DVB-S2 satellite television in areas with moderate to weak signals
• Home installations and small communal or multi-dwelling setups
• Single-LNBF systems or multifeed arrangements for reception of several adjacent satellites
• Replacement or upgrade of smaller satellite dishes to gain reception margin for HD channels

Key specifications

• Reflector type: offset parabolic dish
• Reflector diameter: 120 cm
• Intended reception: DVB-S / DVB-S2 satellite TV
• Feed compatibility: single LNBF or multifeed LNBF brackets
• Mounting: standard pole or wall-mount compatible mounting points
• Use case: residential and small communal satellite reception

How to use

Install the dish on a rigid pole or suitable wall bracket at an unobstructed location with clear line of sight to the target satellite arc. Assemble the reflector and feed arm according to the manufacturer’s mechanical instructions, securing all fasteners and aligning the LNBF holder at the specified focal position. Connect the LNBF to a satellite receiver using low-loss coaxial cable and verify signal strength and quality on the receiver or a satellite meter. Fine-tune azimuth, elevation and skew adjustments to maximise signal quality, then tighten all mountings to maintain alignment in wind and weather.

Usage recommendations

For best results, use quality low-loss coaxial cable and corrosion-resistant connectors, mount the antenna on a sufficiently rigid support to resist wind movement, and allow professional alignment if multiple satellites or precise pointing is required. Regularly inspect mountings and connectors for corrosion or loosening to ensure long-term reliable reception.
