If you access the menu on the DISH Network satellite receiver and access the point DISH screen, it will then allow you to enter your zip code & select the satellite you are currently pointed at. After entering your zip code & selecting the satellite it will calculate the azimuth and elevation angles for you.

What is the proper position for a Direct TV dish?
Dish pointing (Azimuth and elevation mount):Set the dish elevation angle first. This is the up/down angle. Use the elevation scale on the back of the dish. Set the polarization or skew angle also. This involves either rotating the LNB or the entire dish assembly. There may be a polarization rotation scale on the feed throat or behind the dish. Face the satellite, clockwise is positive. Polarisation must be set to 1 deg accuracy for transmit dishes and this normally involves talking to the VSAT hub. For the azimuth bearing use a compass or just think where the sun is and the time of day and boldly swing the dish sideways. You should find the satellite on the first swing, then spend half an hour peaking up. Peaking up is really important for long term service quality and minimum outage time during rain fades.
