Here is the way. 1) call starchoice and get the local angles from them, the azimuth and the skew I think they are called. 2) the azimuth will tell you how much tilt up from horizontal to tilt the dish 3) the skew will tell you how far to turn the dish east or west from due south. 4) this should put you close but not exactly on the satellite. Have someone monitoring the signal in the test setup mode of the reciever and tell you which way to tweak the dish from where you are. 5) otherwise you could use a signal peaker to tell you directly which way to go the peaker connects to the head wires and is a mini reciever and just shows you how strong the signal is. tweak for the best strength and you are done. EASY RIGHT ?? I thought star choice would come out and do this for free......
