I can't align my Dish Network Antenna, can you help out?

I have an elder Dish 500 system. It has worked powerfully for about 4 years. 110 have been dropping out, 119 be fine. I figured the antenna have shifted so I nudged it, and when I did, I lost 119 also, in a minute I get nil. I did all the usual reboots,switch checks and adjectives that and have even gotten so desperate that enjoy run a coax from the rf out on the receiver to a tv out at the satellite pole so I can examine the satellite strengh meter. In addition to the recommended setings, I enjoy scanned god's blue sky (slowly, for 4 hours) for a sattelite signal. I win nothing. I wonder if the lnb have died. If you can be of any help, please answer as my girlfrienf have had to bury her sister and is distraught, and the tv help distract her. I'm going to call a salesperson tomorrow, but any help tonight, I can't detail you how apprecitave I would be.


Answers:    OK, without the proper meters, the best passageway is to again bring the TV out and use it as a meter. Use a level and trademark sure that the pole is straight up and down. THIS IS KEY!

Next, use a compass and set the azimuth (side to side) remembering that you are not pointing the thing that sticks out, you are pointing the center of the dish. The best approach to do this is by looking at the mount and lining up the clasp that holds the dish to the pole. It have 2 bolts with nuts endorsement through it.

Next, set the elevation. Then set the skew if there is one (if near is its on the very rear of the dish and goes moved out and right as if the dish is a steering wheel).

Now, if you have done adjectives of these things right, you should be able to a moment ago sit BEHIND the dish and pull it slowly to the vanished, right, up, down, and find the satellite. Don't loosen anything while doing this until you find the satellite and remember that it takes a second or two for the meter to register and show signal strength.

If you changed satellites or transponders contained by the setup menu, start the guided setup over so that you know you are on one that works.

If you still can't find the sat, loosen the azimuth (left and right) and slowly container back and forth (move a tiny amount and keep on 5 seconds, afterwards move again). If you still can't find it, go up 2 degree on your elevation then start the azimuth tub again.

Good for you for trying to do this for your GF. Please remember, it's very complex to find a sat this track so don't be too hard on yourself if it doesn't work. The LNB could indeed be bleak.

Good Luck!
