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 97W / 101W Multi-LNB configuration

Use this generic preset when the center feed is at 97°W and the second feed is at 101°W. DIRECTV WorldDirect also includes 101°W, but centers on 95°W and needs its own preset.

Quick setup guide

  1. Aim the dish along the alignment line shown on the map.
  2. Set elevation and dish skew on your dish scale to the values shown by DishPointer.
  3. Check for obstructions with the DishPointer Pro 2 app. Each active feed must have a clear line of sight.
  4. Peak the signal for the centered satellite, then verify or fine-tune the others.
