the signal meter 

will turn green and show 
Signal Strength. You 
will want to make very 
small adjustments to 
get the signal as high 
as possible. If the bar is 
RED, you may be pointed

at the wrong satellite. Check that the satellite shown is the desired 
satellite. If the bar is still red, you may need to adjust the dish. Now 
press Cancel to exit the Point Dish Menu.

Make sure the satellite  
is the desired satellite 
you want to point at.
If using Satellite  
119 or 110, use  
Transponder 11. If 
using Satellite 129, use 
Transponder 19.

Before starting, 
disconnect coax 
from “Sat in” on 
back of receiver.
Press Menu  
on your remote.  
Select option 6, 
System Setup.

Select option 1, 
Installation.

Select option 1,  
Point Dish.

Select Check 
Switch. 
(Make sure 
the coax is 
disconnected from 
“sat in” on back 
of receiver before 
proceeding.)

Check that 
there are no 
checkmarks by 
SuperDISH or 
Alternate.
Select Test.

If it warns that 
fewer satellites were 
detected, select Save. 
Then select  
Save again.

This should clear 
out any previously 
installed devices.
Select Done  

to return to  
Point Dish Menu. 
Re-connect coax to 
“sat in” on back of 
receiver.

Input zip code of current location and dish type. On the display, Dish System should always 

be Dish 300. Note that whenever you move the satellite antenna to a new location, you must 

enter the zip code of your new current location.
Satellite should be whatever satellite you want to point at. Satellite 119 is the primary satellite, 
and the majority of programming is located here. If you cannot find your desired standard 
programming on Satellite 119, try Satellite 110. For HD programming, choose Satellite 129 (for 
HD receivers only).
With all information entered, an Azimuth Angle and Elevation Angle will be displayed under the 

Zip Code. Use these pointing angles to point the dish. If you have selected Satellite 129 as your

desired satellite, an azimuth and elevation angle may not be displayed. In this case, refer to the 

 

included with this unit.
If using a 311 or previous model receiver, select Peak Angles to enter your satellite and zip code.

The receiver will go 
through a number 
of steps and then 
return to the screen 
shown here.

Continue to Cancel 
out of the Menus. 
Once out of the menu, 
the receiver will start 
counting. A program 
guide may download, 
which you can stop at 
anytime.

You are now ready to watch TV!

DISH receivers will often not show when they are on signal 
if they have incorrect “Check Switch” information. For this 
reason, DISH users must clear their current settings before 
pointing. To do this for most DISH receivers, follow these 
steps. The following instructions are based on a Solo ViP

®

 

211k receiver. If your receiver differs from the options 
shown, you may need to consult your receiver manual.

Now go back to the 

 section. You’ll want to 

have someone watch or listen to the signal meter at the bottom 
of the screen while pointing.
