STEP 2:
FIND THE RIGHT LOCATION FOR THE DISH
The Dish must be at a location on your dwelling which gives a clear, year-round,
unobstructed ÒviewÓ of the satellite and which is also free from occasional blockages due
to vehicles or passers-by.
Locating the appropriate site for your Bell ExpressVu dish is a two step process: First,
use your compass and the satellite direction data provided in this guide, to estimate the
general direction of the satellite. Use this information to find the right spot to mount the
dish on your dwelling. Next, get more serious about the installation; confirm that your
dish has a clear unobstructed ÒviewÓ of the satellite and that the dish can be mounted
securely.
WHAT YOU WILL NEED
¥ Compass
¥ Level
¥ Satellite Receiver connected to a television
¥ Satellite Location Table (page 1-44)
¥ Vertical Elevation Protractor (page 1-47)
DETERMINE DIRECTION TO THE SATELLITE
You must determine the direction the Bell ExpressVu satellite from your location to help
you determine where to mount your antenna. You must have a clear line of sight from the
antenna location to the satellite. Use the following procedure to find the best location for
the antenna, while keeping in mind the considerations referenced in DISCUSSION OF
POTENTIAL SITES on page 1-9.
After you finish mounting the antenna, you will need to re-aim the dish to get the strongest
signal. Please see STEP 5: ALIGNING THE DISH on page 1-38 for this procedure.
