Installation Instructions
How to Use these Instructions
These instructions guide you through the installation of a satellite system which
includes your DishPro receiver (included with this manual), and a
DishPro
antenna system that can be identified by the DishPro logo shown below.
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.
Installing a DISH 500 Antenna
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
.
