I'm going to install the FTA receiver I just bought but what is the easiest way to angle and set the satellite dishes?

find out where west is, try and point in the middle, then very slowly look around till u get the 91 bell, or 110/119 dish signal

btw easier to use a camcoder as your tv to see the signal strength if u have one, u will also need your fta box attached to the camcorder.

well it didn;t take too long to mount the dishes and run 8 coax cables.

it was chilly this morning and glad most of the manual outside work is finished.

now to setup the receiver and aim those dishes.

Na, smash everything on the floor and call it quits.

119 is hard to find but if you were able to find 110, you're very close. Just have to move the dish in small increments until you set the signal.
