Determing the azimuth and elevation
To properly point your satellite dish antenna at the DIRECTV satellites, you need to
know your azimuth, elevation, and tilt (if applicable) coordinates. Azimuth is defined
as the angle between magnetic North and the location of the satellites, as measured
along the horizon. More simply, azimuth relates to the left-to-rightpositioning of
your dish. Elevation is the angular distance of the satellites above the horizon in
relation to your dish location. In other words, elevation is the up-and-down
positioning of your dish.
Plug the end of the power cord completely into a wall outlet.
Press the button on the remote control or the front of the
Multi-Satellite Receiver. The red light indicator labeled POWER on the
front panel will illuminate.
Press the button again to turn off the Multi-Satellite Receiver.
Access the Main Menu by pressing the button. Select the Setup menu,
and then select the Satellite Dish menu.
