Once the dish antenna is installed, it needs to be aligned so it catches the signal transmitted from the satellite. In addition to receiving the signal, alignment of the dish needs to be tweaked for better quality reception. Similarly, the receiver needs to be tuned so that it works in tandem with the dish. Follow these steps to align your satellite TV.
Step1
Set up the dish antenna.
Step2
Adjust the low-noise block/feedback (LNBF) horn by slightly loosening the nuts and gently moving the dish from left to right.
Step3
Use the coaxial to connect the receiver to the dish LNBF.
Step4
Connect the receiver to your television set.
Step5
Switch on the television and the receiver.
Step6
Refer to the receiver manual for initial set up.
Step7
Determine the elevation level appropriate for your location and identify the elevation indicator on the dish. Adjust the elevation of the dish by loosening the elevation nuts and gently moving the dish up and down. The elevation indicator should line up with the elevation number for your location to adjust the dish properly.
Step8
Compare the channels broadcast on your TV with the channel guide to ensure that the dish is receiving signals from the correct satellite. In case the dish receives a signal from another satellite, you might end up watching programs you are not interested in or in a language you do not understand.
Step9
Focus the picture by moving the LNBF in and out.
