Tools for aligning dish Azimuth and Elevation from Latitude and Longitude of a place

[Vinay]

These are some of the tools for aligning dish Azimuth and Elevation from Latitude and Longitude of a place

1. Find out the Latitude and Longitude of a place using Google Maps or Wikimapia.

2. Enter this in the Satellite Receiver option for setting antenna.

3. After you get the values for Azimuth and Elevation, use a compass and the scale on the back of the dish.

For Dishtv (NSS 6) at 95° East

For DD Direct Plus (Insat4B) at 93.5° East

For Insat4A at 83° East

Use a magnetic compass for adjusting Azimuth

After the signal is found, fine tune the Azimuth, Elevation and LNB Skew for optimum signal quality

Good info Vinay bhai.

Do all receivers have this feature?Is there any online site/software which can do the same thing for you?

For azimuth you have to turn the dish to the degree given using compass horizontally and for elevation vertically using the markings on the dish,correct?

Online site for this is www.dishpointer.com. The software for PC or mobiles is available on the net.

I have a Beetel S11 DVB-S mpeg 2 receiver. That receiver has this feature..

Secondly link to dish pointer website was given by Vinay only. I am thankful to him. I am referring dish pointer website to know dish azimuth and elevation from latitude and longitude of my place, Belgaum.
Dish pointer also gives the accurate LNB skew needed (in degrees clockwise or anticlockwise) for a particular satellite in a particular location.
