To align your DirecTV satellite dish without a meter, you can follow these steps:
1. Find the correct azimuth, elevation, and skew values: Use an online tool like DishPointer to get the precise angles for your location.
2. Mount the dish: Ensure it’s securely mounted and positioned roughly in the direction of the satellite.
3. Set the elevation angle: Adjust the dish’s elevation based on the value you found.
4. Set the azimuth: Use a compass to point the dish toward the satellite’s azimuth.
5. Adjust the skew: Rotate the dish to match the calculated skew angle.
6. Fine-tune the position: Gradually adjust the dish while checking for a signal on your TV screen or using the on-screen signal meter.
