use of dish receiver to aim dish
figured I'd try here before stumbling around trying to talk to the dish techs. can a dish receiver that is NOT authorized/registered/or whatever for use still operate as a dish aimer? will it still ...

Yes. A reciever must be aimed and locked on to be authorized.
I use a Radio Shack satellite finder between the dish and reciever to tune in. Takes about 2 minutes to set up. A quality compass, 7 1/6 wrench, level and the finder are all it takes.
I also use a DeWalt surveyors tripod, that lets you set up on unlevel ground by lengthening the legs as needed to level the mounting post. very stable.
thanks, so I can use an unauthorized/registered/etc. receiver, hook it to my dish and TV and go thru the setup procedure getting signal strength etc. before I bring my "legal" receivers to hook up?
