Interesting. I usually point mine south and it does the same thing.
Actually I don't think it matters. I took the cover off just to see how it works (a fault since early childhood). When powered up the internal dish makes a full rotation. Then it moves back toward a generally southern direction until it hits the direction of the satellites, bumping back and forth a few times to get the strongest signal. Then it begins to adjust the tilt (elevation) again bumping up/down a little at a time until it gets the strongest signal. Then it stops moving.
I think the bumping may also be it homing in on all three satellites.
