How is Dish Network installed?
Find Azimuth/Elevation/Skew angles for your location
Find a location for the dish antenna with a clear line of sight and a sturdy mounting surface Mount the mast,making sure it is absolutely vertical Assemble the dish antenna,setting the skew and elevation angles in the process. Use additional skew bolts for skew angles greater than 110 or less than 70 Mount the dish antenna on the mast and point the dish to the azimuth angle Run cables between the dish antenna and the receiver (s),leaving a service loop around the Mast Clamp Using a peaking meter attached to the DPP 1000.2 LNBF PORT 1,peak the dish on 119°W using transponder 11 or higher for maximum strength. Connect the receiver cable (s) to the DPP 1000.2 LNBF PORT 1 (and PORT 2 and PORT 3,as necessary) and receiver. Some restrictions apply when connecting Legacy receivers. Run Check Switch test and confirm 110°W,119°W,and 129°W reception Take a software download,if you didn’t already Run a Check Switch test and confirm 110ºW,119ºW,129° reception Install additional receiver (s),if necessary If applicable,connect a second satellite dish to the DPP 1000.2 LNBF’s LNB IN port
