Which way should a satellite dish point?

Which way should a satellite dish point?

The horizontal alignment refers to the position of the satellite emitting the signal. Therefore, your dish needs to point either to the east or west, in the direction where you wish to receive the signal.

What position is the Astra satellite?

28.2° East position
Astra 28.2°E is the name for the group of Astra communications satellites co-located at the 28.2° East position in the Clarke Belt that are owned and operated by SES based in Betzdorf, Luxembourg.

How do I align my sat dish?

To get a satellite dish aligned correctly, you must maximise the signal on three plains. This is the left and right or east and west (azimuth) adjustment. The elevation angle which is up and down and the skew adjustment, this is angle that the LNB itself is fixed into the LNB holder.

What direction does Shaw face?

The first two satellites (SAT A) are located at 107.3 west longitude; the other satellite (SAT B) is located at 111.1 west longitude. Your xKu LNB and elliptical dish will be aimed to receive signal from all three satellites.

Which way do satellite dishes face UK?

southeast
TV satellite dishes This is because the dishes point at a geostationary satellite, one that stays over the same point on the Earth’s surface. In the UK there is a dominant satellite broadcaster, hence nearly all the dishes tend to point in the same direction – close to southeast.

How do you find the azimuth of a satellite dish?

As you turn to your right (in a clockwise direction) you’ll face East (which is 90°), then South (which is 180°), then West (which is 270°), and then return to North (which is 360° and also 0°). So if the Azimuth for your satellite is, say, 45°, that means your satellite is northeast of you.
