Preparing for Installation
Step 2: Find Satellite Dish Pointing
Coordinates
To find satellite dish pointing coordinates for your location, you need to first make
sure that your digital satellite receiver, HDTV, or HD set-top converter is connected
and working. Use the diagram on the right to connect your satellite receiver to your
TV.
Then, enter into the satellite receiver, HDTV, or HD set-top converter’s menu system
and find the dish pointing menu. This menu should give you the precise dish pointing
coordinates for your location.
Because this DIRECTV satellite dish can be used with several different types of
products, we cannot show you the specific instructions for obtaining dish pointing
information here. See the User’s Manual that came with your digital satellite
receiver, HDTV, or HD set-top converter for more information about finding
the dish pointing coordinates.
Record the Coordinates
When you’ve obtained the dish pointing coordinates from the satellite receiver, HDTV,
or HD set-top converter’s menu system, record the elevation, azimuth, and tilt numbers
below. You must complete this step before proceeding with the installation.
Elevation________________ Azimuth________________ Tilt________________
Elevation is the up/down
angle that the dish is pointed.
Azimuth is side-to-side
direction that the dish is
pointed.
Tilt is the circular rotation of
the dish itself, like a steering
wheel.

Tip
If you are using a digital satellite
receiver or HD set-top converter, you
can make a simple connection (as
shown below) to get your dish
pointing coordinates and to view the
signal meter, two things you must do
during the installation process.
