5 DIRECTV Multi-Satellite Dish Antenna Finding Suitable Antenna Site A suitable antenna site requires an unobstructed view of the southern sky , a stable antenna mounting surface, a distance of 100-ft or less for RG 6 cable from your antenna to your receiver , and grounding nearby .
6 Installing EZALIGN ™ Mast Now , you’re ready to install the antenna mast at the location you’ve chosen in Step 2 and align it to be plumb (perfectly straight up).

8 Dual grounding block, one receiver hook up shown Use grounding wires #10 copper or #8 aluminum Routing RG 6 Cable(s) Y ou’ll route RG 6 cable from your receiver to the cable grounding block, then from the grounding block to the triple-head LNB. Before starting, inspect the inside of each cable connector for foreign materials and/or short.

Pencil Marks Attaching LNB to Antenna The triple-head LNB has four identical outputs, each supporting one independently operating receiver .
10 V erify Azimuth alignment Switch to Sat B (119°) on your on-screen menu, using T ransponders 23, 25, 29 or 31. V erify that signal is also peaked at 119° by very slightly rotating the antenna around the penciled marking on the mast. Once satisfied, tighten the two Azimuth/Mast clamp bolts.
Make sure all cable connections are correct and each connection is seated/tightened properly . Inspect the inside of each cable connector for dirt or possible connector to case/shield short. V erify the Azimuth, Elevation and T ilt angles for your location by ZIP code.
12 Loss of Signal/Rain Fade • The satellite signal may be lost temporarily due to unusually heavy rainfall. An optimally aligned antenna, along with the shortest possible cable run, minimizes the chances of “rain fade.” • Make sure the antenna is mounted securely to prevent it from being blown out of alignment in a heavy wind.
