Finding the Dish Pointing Coordinates

Using the Dish Pointing Menu Screen

The satellite receiver has an on-screen menu feature for obtaining the precise dish pointing coordinates for your location. You can use the buttons on the front panel of the receiver to navigate through the menu system, or you can use the remote control. If you have not already inserted batteries into the remote, you can do that now.

Directions for using on-screen menus can be found in your receiver manual.

When you’ve obtained the coordinates, record the elevation and azimuth numbers below.

Elevation ______________

Azimuth ________________

Elevation is the up/down angle that the dish is pointed
