Interactive Setup

If you self-installed your satellite dish antenna, you may have already used the interactive setup to find the dish pointing coordinates, acquire and fine-tune the signal, and run a system test.

If you just want to check your dish pointing coordinates, or run the signal strength meter, select Dish Pointing from the Main menu.
