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 Shaw Direct 60 cm configuration

Use this only for the dual feed setup and center the dish on 111.1°W (the active satellite is at the offset LNB). If you have a circular single-feed dish, then use the settings for the 107.3°W satellite.

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.
