ABSTRACT:
Methods for aligning a satellite reflector with an antenna. One method includes the use of an antenna-alignment device to orient the centerline of an antenna in a desired azimuth, elevation and skew orientation. Another method includes the use of an antenna alignment device that is attached to the antenna and can be used in conjunction with a set top box attached to the antenna without the installer having to make trips between the antenna and the television to which the set top box is also attached. Yet other methods include the alignment of an antenna with a satellite wherein the antenna is supported by an adjustable mounting bracket.
