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 SL5 LNB configuration
The SL5 preset adds 110°W and 119°W to the three positions in SL3.

Quick setup guide
- Aim the dish along the alignment line shown on the map.
- Set elevation and dish skew on your dish scale to the values shown by DishPointer.
- Check for obstructions with the DishPointer Pro 2 app. Each active feed must have a clear line of sight.
