I aimed mine in 5min. There was a aiming screen on my dish. When it was
good...the bar went full green.
I think it is easier than people think

el = elevation off the horizon- my Sony had a degree scale and needle
on the dish and mounting arm
az = azimuth - compass direction in degrees from north. North is zero,
they increase to the east
sk - no idea
It's a pain in the butt to get it close. I'd want more than $100.
I have a coax in-line LED "signal seeker" that flashes more quickly
the stronger the signal gets. Used to fine-tune after you get close.
Indispensable in my opinion. I also have a manual for how to align the
dish. Yours for postage if you'd like.
