Satellite TV Installation : How to Align Satellite Dish Without a Meter

[rickcain2320]

Ever wonder why the morons at DirecTV and Dish network insist on putting your dish on the roof or the side of your house?

The satellites are 22,500 miles away, putting them 15 feet higher up won't help reception and it makes them nearly inacessible when trying to get ice and snow off them.

I installed my own dish and its 1 foot off the ground, easy to get to and easy to tune/fix if need be.

if your so hot looking, why don't you do a video on a ladder , and we'll see where you rank in at .

[MrBinady]

Thanks for the tutorial. It's very clear and easy to understand.

[SovereignStatesman]

How about this: wear a bluetooth earpiece, and have someone inside read the screen while you adjust it, and tell you over the cell-phone when it's strongest?

That sounds like the best way of all.

[SovereignStatesman]

This is going to be important.

I saw somethoing similar to this before....

[imdown4wateva]

use a satellite meter, and get yourself a Baileys fibre glass ladder and make sure its tied off at the top. And centremetres??? More like millimetres of tollerance for the dish to drop signal

wow here in louisiana the skew is 126 elevation44...houses there look way diffrent

[TASOVALI]

i also install satellite dishes. I would not never put my ladders up like this gentleman did.

It does not look safe at all.

@TASOVALI

He was in the Circus though.

[dhide14]

I wouldn't let that guy anywhere near my satellite system

[somauno]

he probably just got his sbca and a super buddy and wanted to be MR.Cable...lol i love how he described the compass

[dhide14]

My name is Bill Barney, and I get loads of ass...

[wazzumichael]

he's running out of breath LMAO

[LizardSticker]

dude, props for the video...but come on, a metal ladder? Seriously? And it was at too much of a vertical angle, it looked very dangerous.

[dunnohawk]

With an elevation angle of 47 degrees and nothing blocking line of sight to the satellite, you could have mounted this dish on the wall at ground level. Much safer for installation and maintenance.

[ryda4l5]

what size and type of ladder are you use?

[spidergt80]

100.2 dish on extended mast.. it will pixelate and go out of alignment in 2 weeks...dude get a dif job or delete r crap videos.

[nighthawk5556]

a couple of centimeters? If that dish is off by a couple of degrees its gone. And try to get a little closer to that metal fence with the compass, that is a common mistake

[sunsetglen]

This was very helpful.

Thanks for posting!

[car9275440]

don't use a metal ladder unless you want to be bald like this guy when there is an electric surge

[dhide14]

I wouldn't let this douche anywhere near my satellite system.

[mrlurch8077]

dish network......crooks

[aquabubl]

Fat guy on ladder

[SovereignStatesman]

@aquabubl

Where's Bob Saget when you need him?

[Laobuddy]

Hi I'm Bill Barney.

[585960]

ATT: ALL CUSTOMERS!!!! if you see this guy at your job, get him off your property, or better yet, let him hack the job, then sue him wildly!!!

[wolverine652001]

did he just mount the mast TWICE now? i noticed no dish on the original mast he installed next to the box. LOL screwed up.

[Laobuddy]

Dude, Do the SKU thingie with your hand again like you did at 3:13 that was funny!

[longbeachsick]

dude that ladder don't look so secure mr..nice compass..just get a 311 a used as a meter for the signal

[bfudge85]

fail no sound.

[DARKtutorials]

no fail coz i can hear it

[bfudge85]

i didn't have my sound on. my fail.
