DIY: Settle Asian 3S Satellite TV for 210 Yuan

I always feel that satellite TV is a very precise and high-tech thing, and it's also quite expensive. Judging from the quotations of the "installation teams" outside, it still costs about 1000 yuan for a complete set to receive the Asia 3S satellite with Phoenix TV and STAR TV. A long time ago, I spent money on E-dong to have someone come over and install it.

If it weren't for the super expensive installation and debugging fee in Australia (no less than 500 AUD, approximately equal to 2500 RMB), I would have bought a book called "Practical Tutorial of Satellite TV Reception Technology" on Dangdang.com. Then I bought a set of equipment that wasn't the cheapest in the Satellite TV Enthusiast QQ group (49365054), but it was already quite cheap. It includes a 120CM satellite receiving antenna from Beiwu (commonly known as the dish), a C-band LNB from Jialin, and a Jialin satellite digital receiver (commonly known as the set-top box). The whole set costs 210 yuan and supports Alipay payment.
