Assembling and Mounting the Dish Follow these instructions to assemble the satellite dish, mount it, and point it in the direction of the satellites. Note: If your skew angle is at the extreme ends of the scale greater than or less than 70 , insert nuts and bolts from the hardware pack into the additional skew holes. These additional skew holes provide greater stability to the dish at these extreme angles.
See Figure 2. Installing the Receivers Use the steps below while referring to Figure 1. From the Point Dish screen, run Check Switch.
On all other Legacy models, select Test. When the Check Switch procedure finishes, you should see an Installation Summary screen similar to the ones shown below. Do not disturb the receiver during the process of downloading software. If exiting the Point Dish screen does not start the download process, turn off the receiver for at least 20 minutes on most receivers to allow the receiver to take a software download. Run Check Switch again and confirm reception for all three satellites on all available satellite tuners.
Your Installation Summary screen should be similar to the ones shown above in step 8. Some software on some models may identify the DPP This identification is OK. If installing an additional receiver, follow steps Welcome Sign In Register.
Call Our Experts. Sherman Johnson C. Figure 1. DISH Using the azimuth and elevation angles, find a location for the satellite dish where it can be pointed towards the satellites located at these angles. Make sure nothing blocks the line of sight between the dish and the satellites. Mount the mast to a solid surface so that the dish antenna cannot move or be bumped out of alignment.
Never mount to a tree or a public utility pole. Align the top part of the mast so that it is absolutely vertical. If the top part of the mast is off vertical by only a few degrees, it will be difficult or maybe even impossible for you to find the satellites.
Take at least two readings with a level, on the upper mast, that are 90 degrees apart from one another. Loosen both skew bolts and set the skew by rotating the dish mounting bracket to align the mark with the required angle on the skew scale which you wrote above.
Tighten the skew bolts securely. See Table 1 for the required torque values. After the skew is set, do not try to finetune the skew angle when aiming the dish. Grounding, other devices, and in-home cabling must also meet these requirements. RG-6 coaxial cable rated for at least to MHz must be used in this installation.
Do not use existing cables such as RG as it may cause signal loss. Our free installation process includes:. Call for details. Prices include Hopper Duo for qualifying customers. Upfront fees may apply based on credit qualification. After 3 mos. Altitude Marketing, L.
