Determining Coordinates 
for Aiming Antenna 

The coordinates (Azimuth, Elevation and Tilt numbers) are
based on your ZIP code and can be determined easily by using
your receiver. You will need these numbers for site survey and
antenna adjustments. 

NOTE:

The antenna does not need to be installed for this step.

Connect your receiver to the TV

Consulting your receiver manual, connect the receiver’s video
or Channel 3/4 outputs to the corresponding TV input. Turn on
the TV and the receiver.

Set the antenna type 

Navigate to the antenna installation screen menu. Select
installation as an “oval 3-sat” (some receiver brands may call
it: “triple”, “3 sat location”, “Sat 1,2,3” or “Sat A,B,C”).

Find your coordinates 

Navigate to the antenna-pointing menu screen. Enter your ZIP
code, then write down the numbers in space provided below.

• Tilt: 102
