Azimuth
From our factory Astra 28.2 has an Azimuth angle of 145.2)
which means that from magnetic North you need to point the dish
South East at an angle like this:
Elevation
(Generally the first adjustment to make to a dish)
This is the angle that the dish points towards the sky,
offset from pointing horizontally and is usually
indicated with marks on the bracket at the back
of the dish. Astra is about 24.8 degrees above
horizontal when viewed from Labgear.
Polarisation (Skew)
This is the angle of skew on the LNB/Dish to align with the satellite. If you get this wrong it not
only reduces signal levels but also signal quality as unwanted signals "bleed in" from the other
polarity. To align with Astra we would skew the LNB by 20.5 degrees to the East.
horizontal when viewed from Labgear.
