[QUOTE="rolfw, post: 793517, member: 175057"] There is of course a measurable and specific way of installing a dish, but as others have said, unless you are buying extremely well engineered dishes with well marked elevation scales, can guarantee that your mast is absolutely vertical and can line up the azimuth of dish with degree perfect accuracy using a compass, (dishpointer can only be used as a guide, as GPS accuracy is not good enough and the dish normally doesn't have an aiming sight), then the tried and tested rough position, then finalising alignment and LNB skew with a meter or the receiver, will always be the easiest way.
