I just got a used dishnetwork 500 dish, and I cant figure out where to point the dish. It did not come with any instructions.
I think I got the Elevation correct, but I am having trouble with the Azimuth
The Azimuth is the left to right correct?
I have a directv dish installed, and Is the Dishnetwork dish supposed to be pointed in the complete opposite direction, or how close compared to a directv dish?

You will need to go a bit to the west from DTV.
I don't know where you are at, look up a zip code for a location, either where you are at, or the closest one south of you, if you get my meaning.
Enter it into your dish settop. It will give you the coordinates.

Dishnet and DirecTV are using the same satellites...only using different transponder numbers, FCC allocates blocks. So use your same DTV coordinates.

I have 1 more question, I have the "dish 500 legacy twin with built in sw21 swithces" and
I want to get both 110 and 119 satellites.
Now when I entered my zipcode, it give me a different Azimuth and Elevation reading for the 110 and 119 satellites.
Now, where should I point it at?
I only need just this 1 dish correct, since it is the dish500 with sw21 swithces?
Thanks
