[QUOTE="archive10, post: 793391"] You mostly don't really need to. You could theoretically calculate your elevation as the gentlemen describe above. But that's mostly an academic exercise. First use dishpointer to set the azimuth of the dish (roughly). If you have a prime focus dish the dish should be offset at what dishpointer tells. If you have an offset dish, then the offset angle is either documented by mfg, or can be gleaned from the angle between horizontal and a line between the LNB and the middle of the dish, when the dish is mounted vertically. In any case, just get a rough angle, and then do as described in the how-to giudes elsewhere on this site, if you are in-footprint it should not take long to find the satellite, if out-of and using large dishes it will take more patience.
