Installing a DISH 500 Antenna
Note : If you have a Dish antenna system already installed, and the dish has been
pointed for the strongest possible signal strength, you can skip this chapter and
go directly to Appendix A to install the satellite receiver in an existing system.
The first step in installing your dish antenna is to assemble the satellite dish,
mount it, and point it in the general direction of a satellite. To do this, follow
these instructions:
Finding the Satellites
You need to find the satellites in the sky. To do this, you need to know the
azimuth angle (the south, southeast, or southwest direction to the satellites) and
the elevation angle (the angle up to the satellites) from your location, and the
skew angle
.
1. Make sure that the remote control batteries are fresh, and are installed
properly.
2. Turn ON the television and receiver.
Tip: Using cable
labels makes it
easy to tell which
cables connect to
the receiver ports.
