I came home from school this summer and found out that someone gave my parents a DishNetwork satellite system with a directtv satellite.
I'm a total newbie so I have no idea how to get this thing working.
Can anyone tell me what direction I point the satellite to receive picture. I've live in Toronto, Canada.
Thanks in advance guys.
EDIT: The receiver model number is 4700 and the satellite has a "splitter" (?) called diseqc 4x1.
Sorry but your parents cannot subscribe to Dishnetwork or Directv in Canada. Your equipment is useless here.

Bobcat is Correct; you are not allowed to use that equipment in Canada.
But if you were allowed to, get rid of the 4-way switch.
Lets say you wanted to aim at multiple sats like say 119 and 110 you would need a sw21 switch, To combine two separate dishes.
Sat 119= 230az 26 elev
Sat 110= 220az 31 elev
And of course the checkswitch summary would say 119 119 110 110
Odd even odd even
But Remember You shouldn’t even have that equipment in Canada
Linear Mode
