How Do I Align a DirecTV Satellite Dish? DirecTV uses satellites that are located in the Southern portion of the sky, thus the satellite dish must be pointing to the South in order to locate a signal. The satellite dish must be set to a 51 degree elevation. The back of the dish should be attached to a bracket that can be adjusted. A small meter on the side of the bracket gives the current setting for the dish. If the dish is not at 51 degrees, loosen and adjust it using the meter as a guide. Note: The bracket must be level in order to get the correct 51 degree measurement with the meter. There should be nothing obstructing the view of the southern sky where the dish is pointing. If there are obstructions (such as new tree growth), they must be removed. Otherwise the dish has to be moved to another location. Loosen the mast (pole) enough to be able to gently move the dish left and right.

- If you move the dish too fast and do not pause between moves you might go thru the signal before the receiver can tell you that you are on the signal. If you use a signal meter you can hook it into the system right at the dish and it responds to the signal immediately making it much easier to aim your dish.You do not need any one else to help you if you use a meter at the dish. Compare Signal Strength and Quality.o get a signal, the satellite dish must be pointed directly at the satellite, with NO obstructions between the two. This means NO trees and NO buildings. Take into consideration future tree growth, house remodeling or additions and new construction in your area.

How to Aim a Yagi Directional Outside Antenna Process for Measuring Signal Strengths. Start with the outside antenna aimed in one direction. The person inside should then wait 60 seconds and then record the signal readings from the phone(s). It’s also a good idea to check the warning lights on the booster to record any warnings you see. Next, rotate the outside antenna 45 degrees or 1/8th of the way around.
