Once accurately
pointed, the signal meter
will turn green and show
Signal Strength. You
will want to make very
small adjustments to
get the signal as high
as possible. If the bar is
RED, you may be pointed
at the wrong satellite. Check that the satellite shown is the desired
satellite. If the bar is still red, you may need to adjust the dish. Now
press Cancel to exit the Point Dish Menu.
Make sure the satellite
is the desired satellite
you want to point at.
If using Satellite
119 or 110, use
Transponder 11. If
using Satellite 129, use
Transponder 19.

to return to
Point Dish Menu.
Re-connect coax to
“sat in” on back of
receiver.
Input zip code of current location and dish type. On the display, Dish System should always
be Dish 300. Note that whenever you move the satellite antenna to a new location, you must
enter the zip code of your new current location.
Satellite should be whatever satellite you want to point at. Satellite 119 is the primary satellite,
and the majority of programming is located here. If you cannot find your desired standard
programming on Satellite 119, try Satellite 110. For HD programming, choose Satellite 129 (for
HD receivers only).
With all information entered, an Azimuth Angle and Elevation Angle will be displayed under the
Zip Code. Use these pointing angles to point the dish. If you have selected Satellite 129 as your
desired satellite, an azimuth and elevation angle may not be displayed. In this case, refer to the Satellite Location 129°W Angles Table
included with this unit.
If using a 311 or previous model receiver, select Peak Angles to enter your satellite and zip code.
The receiver will go
through a number
of steps and then
return to the screen
shown here.
Continue to Cancel
out of the Menus.
Once out of the menu,
the receiver will start
counting. A program
guide may download,
which you can stop at
anytime.
You are now ready to watch TV!
*The wording and look used in your receiver may differ slightly.
DISH receivers will often not show when they are on signal
if they have incorrect “Check Switch” information. For this
reason, DISH users must clear their current settings before
pointing. To do this for most DISH receivers, follow these
steps. The following instructions are based on a Solo ViP
®
211k receiver. If your receiver differs from the options
shown, you may need to consult your receiver manual.
