Abstract (en)
[origin: WO0106593A2] A method and apparatus for optimally orienting a satellite dish in a satellite television system to receive signals from more than one satellite. The satellite television system comprises a satellite dish, a plurality of low noise block converters (LNB), a receiver and a television. The apparatus generates an on-screen display having a signal strength display for more than one satellite. In operation, a user executes the dish tuning software on the satellite receiver and the receiver displays a graphical interface on a television screen. The interface comprises a plurality of radio buttons, one for each satellite. Additionally, in an alternative embodiment of the invention, a third radio button is provided that facilitates a fine tuning process.
