Re: New and confused

try this:

how to effectively set up and align your dish

1. make sure the pole is plumb and mount the dish onto it.
2. turn your receiver off with the switch on back.
3. if you need a diseqc switch run the cable ( rg6 if possible ) to the proper outlet on it.
4. run one short length of cable from each dish you plan to use to the proper port on the
switch(be sure you have the ports set right in your antenna setup).
5. once your connections are tight turn on the receiver again.
6. select the sat you want to get and go to antenna settings.
7. making sure the sat you want to get is in the top right corner start moving the dish
slowly in the general direction of the signal until you see the quality bar move.
8. if all your lnb's are on one dish you should be tuning the middle one first. to get the others
select the next sat in antenna settings and skew the dish until that one comes in.
9. repeat step 8 until you have signal on all sats.
10. to watch one dish at a time select it in the menu, to watch all the channels select all sats.
