[. . . ] It will be easiest to fine-tune your satellite dish antenna with someone else's assistance, calling out the signal strength while you make the adjustments. In addition, you should turn up the volume of your TV so that you can hear the beeps while you make adjustments. When there is no signal, beeps will occur every few seconds so that you know it is searching. As the signal strength increases, the beeps will become much more rapid. Before you begin make these quick checks: · · Verify that there are no obstructions such as trees, buildings, etc. , blocking the signal. Verify that you are using the proper cable type (RG-6) between the satellite dish antenna and the digital satellite receiver. Also, be sure that the connections are tight and the center wire in the cable extends about 1/8th -inch beyond the end of the connector. Verify that the azimuth and elevation values that you determined earlier are correct for your area. Get a 7/16-inch wrench (not included) to loosen and tighten the satellite dish antenna's bolts. Find the initial direction to point your satellite dish antenna using a compass. · · · The "box" method begins by subtracting 10 degrees from the azimuth and subtracting 4 degrees from the elevation values that you determined earlier. First, loosen the nuts securing the two (one on each side) elevation bolts just enough so that you can easily tilt the reflector up and down. Do not change transponders trying to find the best signal since the transponder will automatically change to the one that corresponds with the satellite channels that you view.
