How to Use a Satellite Finder 1. Attach a coaxial cable from the LNB to the satellite finder. Satellite finders are incredibly useful little machines that are particularly helpful when you’re looking to get a better dish signal. They work by measuring the signal strength of various satellites in geostationary orbit so that you can properly align your dish. Here’s how to use your satellite finder. 2. Make sure the dish is loosened and moveable. You’ll need t o adjust the dish in the next steps, so loosen the nuts that hold it steady. Ensure you can move it on the horizontal and vertical axes (azimuth and elevation, respectively). 3. Begin moving your dish along the horizontal axis. Following your satellite finder’s directions, move the dish along the horizontal axis until the finder measures the maximum signal strength (different models may display strength differently). 4. Move your dish on the vertical axis. Repeat the previous step, but this time along the vertical axis. Once a...
