Antenę internetową LTE podłączamy kablem o impedancji 50 omów. Najpopularniejsze to TRI-LAN 240 i TRI-LAN 400 — pierwszy do krótkich połączeń, drugi do dłuższych, bo ma mniejsze tłumienie. Oba kable mają powłokę PE odporną na słońce.
Na końcach kabli nakręcamy złącza F. Ważne, aby centrującą drucianą żyłę lekko spiłować pilnikiem — zbyt długa wpadnie do gniazda i uszkodzi styk w konwerterze lub tunerze. Po nakręceniu złącza warto zabezpieczyć je warstwą taśmy samowulkanizującej, a na niej warstwą taśmy izolacyjnej PCV.
Jeśli planujemy odbiór z kilku satelitów, na przykład Hotbird i Astra, potrzebny jest przełącznik DiSEqC. Modele Opticum 4/1 albo Stab MS4 pozwolą podłączyć cztery konwertery do jednego dekodera. Przełącznik montujemy w suchym miejscu, najlepiej w skrzynce instalacyjnej na strychu albo w kotłowni.
Montaż krok po kroku
Cały proces zaczynamy od wyboru miejsca na dachu. Talerz satelitarny musi mieć czystą widoczność południa z lekkim odchyleniem na zachód. Antena internetowa kierunkowa musi patrzeć w stronę najbliższego nadajnika LTE — kierunek sprawdzamy na mapie zasięgu operatora albo w aplikacji NetMonster na smartfonie.
Kiedy już wyznaczyliśmy miejsce, montujemy maszt. Najpierw przykręcamy uchwyty do komina albo ściany za pomocą śrub kotwionych M8. Wkładamy rurę, orientujemy ją pionowo za pomocą poziomicy, lekko dokręcamy śruby. Jeśli maszt wystaje ponad 1.5 metra nad dach, montujemy odciągi z linki stalowej 4 mm — trzy lub cztery, równomiernie rozłożone.
Następnie zakładamy uziemienie. Linka miedziana 16 mm² łączy maszt z najbliższą szyną wyrównawczą instalacji odgromowej budynku. Jeśli taka szyna nie istnieje, wbijamy w ziemię pręt ocynkowany długości 1.5 metra i doprowadzamy do niego linkę.
Talerz satelitarny montujemy w dolnej części masztu, około 30 cm nad dachem. Antenę internetową umieszczamy wyżej, na samej górze masztu, zachowując opisane wcześniej odstępy. Kable przeciągamy przez wnętrze rury, jeśli maszt taką opcję posiada, albo mocujemy je na zewnątrz opaskami nylonowymi odpornymi na promieniowanie UV. Miejsce, w którym kable wchodzą do budynku, uszczelniamy zaprawą silikonową albo specjalną przelotką dachową.
Jak ustawić antenę satelitarną
Dla Warszawy i okolic satelita Hotbird znajduje się na orbicie w pozycji 13°E. Patrząc na maszt od strony talerza, skierujemy go na południe z bardzo lekkim odchyleniem na zachód — dokładnie około 6 stopni. Kąt elewacji, czyli nachylenie talerza w dół, wynosi w naszej szerokości geograficznej około 26 stopni.
Najprostszą metodą namierzania jest skorzystanie z wbudowanego miernika sygnału w dekoderze. Włączamy telewizor, wchodzimy w menu instalacji, wybieramy satelitę Hotbird i podgląd siły sygnału. Druga osoba stoi przy ekranie i podaje komunikaty głosowo, a my na dachu przesuwamy delikatnie talerzem. Zaczynamy od azymutu, potem korygujemy elewację, na koniec delikatnie obracamy konwerter w jego uchwycie.
Kiedy siła sygnału oraz jego jakość osiągną maksimum, dokręcamy wszystkie śruby. Warto po dokręceniu sprawdzić wyniki jeszcze raz — czasem samo dokręcanie powoduje minimalne przesunięcie talerza i trzeba nanieść poprawkę.
Podłączenie konwertera i dekodera
Z końców kabla koncentrycznego zdejmujemy około 15 mm izolacji zewnętrznej, odginamy oplot, zdejmujemy 8 mm izolacji wewnętrznej. Nakręcamy złącze F. Drugi koniec kabla podłączamy do konwertera LNB — w przypadku modelu Quad mamy cztery niezależne wyjścia, z których każde prowadzi do innego dekodera.
Po drugiej stronie, w salonie, kable wchodzą do dekodera. Polsat Box oferuje obecnie dekodery Polsat Box 4K, Polsat Box 4K Lite oraz Soundbox 4K — złącze LNB jest standardowe, wkręcane. Canal+ korzysta z modeli Ultrabox+ 4K, Dualbox+ 4K oraz Canal+ BOX+. Warto wiedzieć, że dekodery 4K od obu operatorów dostępne są wyłącznie w najmie, w sprzedaży znajdziemy jedynie modele HD.
Instead, the company focused on meeting regulatory remediation plans and rebuilding trust across its markets.
Once regulators escalated their scrutiny, compliance quickly became Star’s top priority—and if you follow the company’s
trajectory, you’ll see how this shift changed everything.
This triggered investigations from AUSTRAC
and state regulators in New South Wales and Queensland.
"Regardless of what happens with the ownership, our focus has to be on making sure there’s jobs,"
Crisafulli said. "If you’re asking me whether or not I think it is a good use of taxpayer money to prop up individual companies, I would suggest to you the focus should be on individual workers," he said.
Crisafulli would not entertain any tax deferrals for the company and insisted the focus be on Queensland jobs.
It has a potential lifeline in the form of a $100 million debt facility but has not been able to access that capital.
"That includes all our regulators, our 8,000-plus team members and our almost 75,000 shareholders." "We want to make sure taxpayers receive the full dividend from this project, but the fact is we won’t receive that dividend if the Queen’s Wharf Brisbane closes and 1400 people lose those jobs," he said.
"The remediation plan has taken many months to develop and will really drive reforms I now expect to see coming out of there." But the
fact is, we won’t receive that dividend if the Queen’s Wharf Brisbane closes and 1400 people
lose those jobs," Miles said.
A huge police team with Polair helicopters was deployed to find the car, which allegedly continued to be driven dangerously through the city. Mathieson owns a 9.6 per cent stake but recently received regulatory approvals to acquire up to 20 per cent of Star’s shares. Discussions with its major investors, such as pokies billionaire Bruce Mathieson, continued deep into Sunday evening ahead of the expected release of Star Entertainment’s annual results on Monday.
"It might not work, and those 1,400 Queenslanders would lose those jobs, but I think it’s appropriate
for the government to look to what we can do to
try to protect those jobs," he said on Thursday. Miles said his "first priority" was to protect the 1,400 jobs the new casino represents. The company continued to jointly develop its new Queen’s Wharf casino in Brisbane, with joint venture partners Chow Tai Fook Enterprises and Far East Consortium. The Star Entertainment Group, worth $1.29bn, is one of the largest casino companies operating in Australia. Fund manager Perpetual has been another willing backer of Star Entertainment in recent months.
"We've had a very brief conversation with their banker, but we
have not heard anything from the company since we've
made our offer," Mr Kim confirmed. The Bally offer came as a late, alternate proposal and Star Entertainment chief executive Steve McCann has not been in contact with the US outfit, who made an "unsolicited" offer. On Tuesday, Star confirmed media speculation that the refinancing offer came from Salter Brothers Capital, with which it has entered into an "exclusivity
and process deed". He was "pleasantly surprised" by the potential of the casino group, which has been running out of cash after regulator crackdowns in two states, following revelations that international gangs were using the casinos to launder the proceeds of crime. On Monday, Bally's offered at least $250 million in funding, in exchange for a controlling stake in Star. When he saw the embattled casino operator was selling its 50 per cent stake in the just-finished Queen's Wharf casino in Brisbane, Mr Kim got on the phone. Soo Kim is the chair of the US casino giant Bally's and is offering a financial lifeline to cash-strapped Star Entertainment.
The revised timeline was announced in an ASX statement in December, informing shareholders that DBC had reached a settlement in the Supreme Court with Multiplex Constructions over cost blowouts and delays on the project. The project is being delivered by the Destination Brisbane Consortium (DBC) which Star holds a 50 per cent stake in, while Far East Consortium and Chow Tai Fook Enterprises hold 25 per cent each. Meanwhile, The Star's Queens Wharf project in Brisbane has been delayed for a fifth time, with the $3.6 billion precinct now expected to open in August. Queensland's Attorney-General Shannon Fentiman announces the penalties two months after she found the gambling giant unsuitable to hold a casino licence in Queensland, following a major report. "We are on a journey to restore
our suitability and our remediation plan will track and hold us accountable to
the multi-year program we are committed to delivering," a spokesperson said. "There are serious questions to be answered
about Labor's decisions to allow Star to continue holding a casino licence in Queensland," he said.
"Of concern is some evidence of relatively high problem
gambling rates for both of these groups, with further recruitment of these patrons potentially leading to increases in problematic
gambling or harm in the longer term." Monday's announcement reiterated that there "remains material uncertainty as to the group's ability to continue as a going concern".
It said its board considered each of the proposals it had
received to date "and after careful consideration (which has included external advice) concluded that none of the proposals have provided sufficient value for The Star".
The court will continue hearing from Dr Higgins on Tuesday, with defendants are due to front the
court in coming weeks. As part of the settlement arrangement, Mr Theodore will be disqualified from managing corporations for nine months.
The court has heard allegations the leadership approved relationships with people linked to
organised crime, rather than addressing money laundering risks by
questioning whether Star should be dealing
with those individuals. Shares in Star rallied on Monday, after the casino operator confirmed it had
received bids to buy out its stake in Brisbane's Queen's Wharf development, as
it warned of "material uncertainty" about its future prospects.
The variance in these two assumptions highlights the uncertainty of the casino’s potential impact.
There is so much talk, theories, reports, and misinformation about the potential impact of the new Brisbane casino on the Queensland Club
and Hotel industry, it’s difficult for anyone to get a clear understanding of what the impact may be.

Far East said in a separate statement on Monday that
Star must repay A$10 million ($6.5 million) or forfeit its remaining third stake in the
Gold Coast casino within 30 days of the Brisbane deal being terminated.
Chow Tai Fook companies retained their stake in the project, alongside
Suncity, even after Chau's arrest last November.
The company's chequered history includes a role in a failed
Australian casino bid with discredited gambling tycoon Stanley Ho and
interests in his companies, which have been blacklisted
in New South Wales. 7NEWS can reveal on Tuesday,
senior ministers met with Hong Kong joint venture partners, Chow Tai Fook
Enterprises and Far East Consortium, to outline their plan to takeover Star’s 50 per
cent stake in Queens Wharf. His message to staff is to keep working hard to make sure every customer is happy, while his message to state regulators is specific.
"I can’t guarantee there won’t be any job losses because we have to make sure we have the right team in place. He observes that the casino is so high-end, it almost seems unattainable to the people they want visiting the property.
