INSTALLING AND POINTING YOUR SATELLITE DISH ANTENNA

4)To have reached this step it is assumed that there is some degree of signal. A numeric value for the strength ranges from 0 to 99. While your signal strength may vary, refer to the following map to determine the suggested signal strength goal for your area:

Typical signal strength results. Your actual signal strength may vary.

5)Gently continue turning the satellite dish antenna reflector a small amount as you were turning it when you began receiving a signal. Continue to adjust the satellite dish antenna in this fashion until the signal strength meter reaches the highest possible reading. Tighten the azimuth bolts.

6)Slowly tilt the satellite dish antenna up and down to try to improve the signal strength reading. When you are satisfied that you have achieved the strongest signal, tighten the elevation bolts.

You may choose to try different transponders. Each transponder transmits multiple programs at a time. The transponder displayed when entering the screen represents the one associated with the last viewed program (or “02” if no program has been viewed). By moving the highlight to the transponder area, you can enter a number from 01 to 32. Different transponders may show varying signal strengths. This is not indicative of any problem unless the variations are extreme (such as 40 and 90). In the event of signal reception problems, customer service representatives may ask for information such as signal strength on a different transponder. Do not change transponders trying to find the best signal since the transponder will automatically change to the one that corresponds with the satellite channels that you view.
