Commercial satellites are in geosynchronous orbit around the equator. They are each at a particular longitude. The direction you need to point your dish then depends on where you are. In northern Canada, dishes point at a very shallow angle to the south. In California, they are pointing around 45 degrees up and some amount east or west.
Find out the longitude of the satellite you want and then look up on the satellite company's website (or do an internet search) for the angles to aim (one angle is skyward, the other north/south/east/west).
What else can I help you with?
How do you spell satellite dish in French?
une parabole, une antenne satellite
What can you make out of a satellite dish?
I've had great success and fun by turning a satellite dish into a super directional microphone. Any small mic will work, just position it at the focal point in place of the old microwave amp facing toward the dish. Add small headphone amplifier and listen up! Pinpoint birds and other wildlife locations.
How could you tell if a satellite dish was tracking a geosynchronous satellite or one in low Earth orbit?
A satellite dish tracking a geosynchronous satellite would remain fixed in a specific direction, as geosynchronous satellites maintain a constant position relative to the Earth's surface. In contrast, a dish tracking a satellite in low Earth orbit would need to move continuously to follow the satellite's rapid movement across the sky, as these satellites orbit the Earth at much lower altitudes and complete an orbit in about 90 minutes. Thus, the motion of the dish can indicate the type of satellite being tracked.
What is sub satellite point?
A subsatellite point is the point on the Earth's surface directly below a satellite in orbit. This point moves as the satellite orbits the Earth. The subsatellite point is also called the nadir point.
What is a satellite dish used for?

How do you draw a satellite link in a computer schematic?
Graphically you'd draw a stylised satellite (in orbit) and satellite dish (on the ground), with a dashed line between the two. If the dish is both transmitter and receiver, use arrowheads in both directions. If it is a receiver only, arrowheads should point from the satellite to the dish.
What does the satellite dish do in space?
Satellite dish is used to receive the data colleted by the satellite and to give commands to it.
What Channel Is Boomerang on satellite?

What is a sky dish and what is it used for?
A sky dish is a satellite dish that is used by companies such as Dish Network or DirecTV to receive their satellite signals. They are usually mounted on your home and pointed in the direction of the company's satellite.
How does a satellite dish works?
The satellite dish is picking up weak signals from around, and center them onto its "burn point", in which all the signals are concentrated, thus strengthened. Answer2: The satellite dish is a parabolic shape. The parabola collects signals that come into the dish and directs them to the focal point. At the focal point an electronic amplifier is located to pickup and amplify the signals.
What satellite company used big satellite dishes?
If you are referring to the original satellite dish known as the C band satellite, the satellite company that used these was DISH Network.
