If you had your system setup before at your last location, then the elevation on the dish is probably still set right, unless you moved from a long way away. Put the dish on the mast, make sure it is plumb, then line it up with a compass, for Manassas that is 220.7 or 221 degrees. Stand out in front or behind your dish, get away from it because the metal will throw off the compass, line up the lnbf arm so it is pointing to 221 degrees on the compass. You will need to do some fine tuning, use an active transponder, Abu Dhabi at 12144V SR22000 is strong and on all the time. Is 20109 your zip code? My satellite program says its not a valid zip code.
