I can't seem to find a YouTube video which matches the antenna set up I have, and is sufficiently explanatory.
Now that I have the dish on the pole, I need to set the elevation. Dishpointer.com says that my elevation needs to be at 48.8 degrees. Well the hash marks on the bracket do not at all correspond to the tilt / elevation of the dish. (see photo) If I set it to about 49 on the bracket, it is actually way way off from 49 degrees relative to the ground. I used a smart phone app to find the exact location of Galaxy 19 in the sky and it is way far above where 49 degrees seems to be indicated on the dish / pole bracket.
How do I set the dish pointing up to 48.8 degrees, since the markings on the bracket seem irrelevant?
(and btw yes, I know that the cable is disconnected from the LNB in the 2nd photo)
