Which direction does dish Network need to point?
The horizontal alignment refers to the position of the satellite emitting the signal. Therefore, your dish needs to point either to the east or west, in the direction where you wish to receive the signal.
How do I know where to point my satellite dish?
To get a satellite dish aligned correctly, you must maximise the signal on three plains. This is the left and right or east and west (azimuth) adjustment. The elevation angle which is up and down and the skew adjustment, this is angle that the LNB itself is fixed into the LNB holder.
What is the correct angle for a satellite dish?
When your dish is pointed almost straight up the elevation angle is nearly 90 degrees. Sites near the equator may require you to point to almost 90 deg elevation angle when the longitude of the satellite is similar to the longitude of the site location.
Which way do I point my dish tailgater?
The DISH Tailgater requires an unobstructed view of the southern sky for signal reception. Be sure to place the DISH Tailgater in a location free from obstructions such as trees, buildings, etc. (See page 3.) Point the handle approximately north to speed up scan time.
How do you align dish azimuth?
To set azimuth:
- Use a compass to find the correct angle and move the plumb mast (the pole on which the dish is mounted) until the dish is pointing at that angle.
- Check your signal strength: anything over 40 is a good signal.
- Tighten all hardware.
