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 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.

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.
