How To Align a Dish 500

1) First, make sure the mast (pipe/pole) is level in all directions.

2) Assuming you're standing behind the d*sh facing South, make sure the skew is at 90 deg. / level / horizontal.

3) Connect LNB 119 only (LNB 119 is the one to your left / one to the East). Align 119 first by latitude & altitude. Once you have the strongest Signal & Quality, tighten all the bolts.

4) Disconnect 119 and connect 110 only (LNB 110 is the one to your right / one to the West).

5) To bring in 110, skew the d*sh500 clockwise (you standing behind the d*sh facing South). The Signal & Quality for 110 will come in; then tighten the nuts / bolts.

6) Connect both 119 & 110 to whatever switch you're using.

For B*v, do the same as above but in my instructions, replace 119 with 91 and 110 with 82 and you would skew Counter Clockwise instead.

Note: This is for a d*sh500. If you were using a d*sh with 3 LNBs, it would be sort of the oposite; you would lign up 110 (or 82) first.
