Pointing Dish Playmaker

[starlord]

Don't use my satellite often, guess that's the problem. On the Dish Playmaker, what direction are you supposed to point the handle (or the lettering)? I know something is supposed to point south but don't remember which one to point south. Can't find anything in the directions on pointing the dish. Thanks in advance for any answers.

I always have a printout of the satellite finder webpage and use the Az reading to make sure there are no obstructions like trees, and place it accordingly.

I have it on a tripod which is staked to the ground, preventing wind problems.

As said, it doesn't matter for the Playmaker. The Tailgater handle was pointed roughly north to keep it from possibly interfering with the sat LOS.

It doesn't care unlike the old tailgater.
