direction at where you point your dish is different for every
state, city, and zip code. To find the Azimuth, Elevation, &
Polarization for Galaxy 19 satellite in your area, simply visit
http://www.wsidigital.com/azel_finder.htm. Make sure that “97W
Galaxy 19 (G-19)” is chosen from the list. Type in your zip code,
and press press enter. The Elevation, Azimuth, and LNB Skew
(Polarization) will be displayed under the map.
Note: Due to the frequent change in satellite names, if 97W Galaxy
19 (G-19) does not appear on the drop down list, choose the
satellite that begins with “97W”

Azimuth is the turning of your satellite dish East and West or Left
& Right. This is the same as your compass reading. Make sure when
you look on your compass for the proper degree, that your compass
is away from your satellite dish. Remember, metal can throw off
the reading on your compass so be very care full.
ELEVATION:

Elevation is how high up the signal is coming from. You can
usually measure your elevation based on the degree markings on the
back bracket of your satellite dish antenna. Make sure you don't
tighten the bolts too much to leave room for play in case you need
to fine tune your antenna with your signal meter. Once you fine
tune to the highest possible signal, you can tighten the elevation
bolts.
LNB Skew (Polarization):

Skew or Polarity is how much you turn your LNBF. Standing in front
of the satellite dish, looking at the dish, if you have a positive
Skew angle you want to turn your LNBF counter-clockwise. If you
have a negative skew angle, you want to turn your LNBF clockwise.
Usually, in the East coast USA you have a positive skew and in West
coast USA you have a negative skew.
