Acquiring the correct dish pointing angles

The Dish Pointing menu item in the Dish Setup menu allows you to find out exactly how to point your satellite dish by entering your ZIP code. If you have not yet successfully aligned your satellite dish, or if you need to realign it, follow these instructions to find the exact angles you should use to point your dish:

1.Press the MENU button on your remote control (the main menu appears).

2.Highlight SYSTEM SETUP and press SELECT (the System Setup menu appears).

3.Highlight Installation and press SELECT (the Installation menu appears).

4.Highlight Dish Setup and press SELECT (the Dish Setup menu appears).

5.Highlight Dish Pointing and press SELECT (the Dish Pointing screen appears).

6.Use the right-arrow button on your remote control to highlight the space for the first digit in the ZIP code. Use the 0 - 9 buttons on your remote control to enter your five-digit ZIP code. When you have entered all five digits, the screen updates to display the correct azimuth, elevation, and (for oval dish types only) tilt.

Azimuth is the left-to-right angle to which you should point your dish.

Elevation is the up-and-down angle to which you should point your dish.

Tilt (for oval dishes only) is the amount off-horizontal you should twist the dish on its axis.

Write down these numbers and use them to point your satellite dish.

7.To return to the Dish Setup menu, press PREV on your remote control. To exit the menu system, press EXIT on your remote control.
