- 1). Use a wrench to loosen the bolts located on the side and on the back of your digital satellite dish. Loosen the bolts so they still hold the satellite dish in place, but you're able to move the satellite during your digital satellite installation when you apply a small amount of pressure.
- 2). Look on the side of the satellite dish mounting pole and you'll notice a set of numbers. As you tilt the satellite dish up and down, an arrow will point to different numbers. Tilting the satellite dish up and down is how you set the elevation, and you should adjust it so the arrow points to the number indicated in your coordinates.
- 3). Point a compass with numbers to the sky until it points to the coordinates provided for your azimuth. Aim digital satellites from side to side so the satellite arm, or LNB, points in the same direction as the azimuth you discovered with your compass.
- 4). Rotate your dish like you would a steering wheel to set the skew. Around the edge of the satellite dish you'll notice numbers similar to what you used to set the elevation. The numbers wrapped around the edge of the digital satellite dish is the skew. Turn your satellite dish until the arrow points to the appropriate skew coordinate.
- 5). Tighten all of the nuts you loosened previously to secure your digital satellite and its position in place.
