direct dish setup
Hi Again. Been awhile. Need some advice. I am still using a dish not streaming. I live in the country so no cable service. Seems used to be a lot easier. Maybe I am just old! I was a full time rver so used to set up all the time. Now I am confused. The azimuth shows supposed to be about 134 but that does not work. My brother has a new dish and the actual compass reads 163 but if I look at his setup it shows also supposed to be 134. I would hire someone but the closest installer is well over 100 miles from me. Anyone know what I need to do? Help!
Thanks

It's all about proper aiming.

It would help to know your dish type and equipment model numbers.

Thank You for your response
HR24 receiver and SWM LNB dish
I thought the azimuth was the compass reading for direction. The receiver shows I need to aim at 134 but when I put the compass on my brothers dish arm the compass shows 163 so I am confused. I have a signal gauge but get nothing
Thank You again for your time
