See the picture describe the Azimuth the position of antenna from the North compass and the Elevation is the corner degree antenna from horizon .

Just the simple like that...

*Elevation angles may not be displayed in the receiver menu for satellite 72° (recommended as a single satellite solution for DISH® HD programming) or 129°.

If the elevation angle is not displayed in the receiver menu, use the provided elevation and coverage maps to find the elevation angle for your current location.

Compatible Satellites

For Dish Network

Set To :

72°: Eastern satellite, recommended for HD programming

129°: Western satellite, majority of HD programming

119°: Majority of std. programming

110°: Some standard programming, limited HD programming

Elevation Maps

How to use the maps ?

Determine which satellite you want to point at - Maps are provided for Dish 72, Dish 110, Dish 119, Dish 129, DirectTV 101, Bell TV 82, and Bell TV 91.

On the corresponding map-find your location.

Determine the elevation angle- closest to your current location.

Use this elevation angle to help point your antenna- Keep in mind that the elevation angles provided are approximate.

If having trouble-locking onto signal with the elevation angle provided, try adjusting the angle ±2–3 degrees.

Example :

Your current location is in Colorado, and satellite is Dish 72 for HD Programming. Find your Elevation ?

Answer :

So look at Dish 72 Map below , for Colorado elevation is 33, so adjust your elevation to 33 degree from Horizon.

I attached a US map to make it easier to find your location and match the elevation map

Here the lists elevation maps

Maps For Dish Network

Maps for DirectTV

Maps for Bell TV

TIP

The 72° satellite is recommended as a single satellite solution for DISH® HD programming. In the Northwest, the extremely low elevation angle may present issues in getting clear line-of-sight to the satellite.

In those circumstances, use one of the western satellites (110°, 119°, or 129°).

Note that the 72° and 129° satellites require an HD receiver. circumstances, use one of the western satellites (110°, 119°, or 129°).

Note that the 72° and 129° satellites require an HD receiver.
