PERFECT RECEPTION
Check the sight line to every feed
For trouble-free reception, each feed must have a clear line of sight. Check for trees, buildings and other obstructions in the satellite direction beforehand on the map, or on site with the official DishPointer Pro 2 app.
Your DirecTV SL3 configuration
The SL3 dish contains three feed positions centered on 101°W. Choose the SL5 dish if your LNB arrangement also includes 110°W and 119°W.
