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.
