Here we will attempt
to give you an overview of Satellite Dish Pointing and
what you can expect if you decide to do this for yourself.
Overall, the best circumstance would be to have a professional
installer do your dish pointing for you. They have the
equipment and they have the experience. If you sign
up with Dish Network or Directtv, a professional installation
will be provided and you won't have to worry about pointing
your satellite dish in the right direction.
If for some reason
you do end up in a situation where you will be doing
your own dish pointing, you might want to keep a few
things in mind. In general, dish pointing is not really
a fun project. It can take much more time than you may
anticipate. If you don't have all of the right tools
then if could mean a lot of hit and miss and it could
take you several hours in order to get a decent signal.
Some satellite systems use special software that assists
with the dish pointing procedure.
Pointing your satellite
dish is all about azimuth and elevation. Your dish will
be generally pointing south. The azimuth is a directional
measurement that tells you which way to point going
left to right on the horizon, north to east. The elevation
tells you how high to point your dish. You also need
to allow for the curvature of the Earth. Your satellite
dish systems provider should be able to give you all
of the specifics that you need so that you can align
all of these factors.
