Allsat is currently offering free installation with all of their Satellite TV Packages, which will save you a lot of time..trust me.
It is very essential that the satellite dish is mounted properly, so that the broadcast signals are received correctly. The satellite broadcasting TV is geostationary and is at a height of 22,300 miles above the equator. It travels from west to east and if viewed from earth appears to be at a single spot.
The first step in mounting the satellite is to find out the elevation and azimuth. The city, state and the satellite has to be input and the satellite position, latitude, longitude, azimuth, elevation and the skew or the LNBF Tilt would be the output. Now, that the angles of azimuth and elevation are known, it is necessary to have a look to make sure there are no obstructions in the direction of the satellite. If the satellite dish is to be mounted on a flat beam or roof, then the base of the satellite dish must be parallel to the mounting surface. If the roof is a slanting one, the satellite dish must be at a proper angle to the roofline.
Now, the satellite dish can be fixed on the mounting surface. Further, the dish has to be adjusted such that the dish mast is exactly perpendicular to the level. This can be thoroughly achieved using a carpenter’s level. Now, the satellite dish is properly set. It has to be aimed towards the satellites.
Setting the elevation and azimuth
To set the correct elevation, first the nuts that fasten the two elevation bolts have to be loosened. Now, it becomes possible to move the dish upwards and downwards. The elevation indicator has to be lined up with the tick mark that corresponds to the elevation number. Then, the bolts can be tightened. There may be a need to readjust the elevation slightly upwards and downwards to procure the optimum signal. To set the appropriate azimuth, the azimuth nuts on the LNB arm have to be loosened in such a way that the dish can be rotated in a smooth manner with some pressure. The dish has to be moved towards the right or left to set the azimuth. The dish must point toward the southern hemisphere, which is the general direction of the satellite. A compass should be used to match the azimuth number with the degrees on the compass.
