Direct TV dish setup?
When setting up a DT TV dish, I want to check the OEM degree settings. Do you set up using the face of the dish, meaning taking a 6' level and setting it across the the dish face at the 12/6 Oclock...

Ok Guys,
Here is what I am wanting to do and or find out some info at the same time.
This is for a Direct TV Multi-Sat dish with 3 LNB's, 2005/6 yr model.
The angle of the reflector/dish to the LNB arm is approximately 97* and the angle on the LNB holder face is 70*.
Using an long armed angle finder via this method,
Straight edge across the reflector face 12/6 oclock postion = 97* angle of the LNB arm to the dish/reflector face arm as the dish is set up in normal useable fashion.
Angle of the 3 LNB holder/face = 70* to the LNB arm, (looking towards the dish/reflector face).
There is OEM reference marks for Elevation, 0* to 180* and there is tilt/skew marks from 0* to 140*.
What part of the dish/reflector, or LNB arm/face are these marks referencing to????
I am curious to just how accurate the OEM REFERENCE marks are.
I was given a Raven?? brand adjustment system for a dish, that has all three OEM reference marks in 1* steps, this system has screws to move/make the adjustments with/on all 3 axis, very classy high dollar looking setup, as compared with the other brands etc.
