It all depends upon your geographical location..

There are "stickies" within this forum that should help.

Just treat it like a standard installation. Look through the guides for instructions.

not sure if this is allowed to be posted but dishpointer.com will help with setting up the dish and giving the direction of the satellite you want to align the dish to

also make sure the patio mount is 100% level if the dish is motorised

also depends if the dish is an offset dish , if it is then it depends on the manufacturers offset , so you need the dish details , then use the formulae to get the dish elevation angle , then the motor will be set to your latitude and then adjust as necessary according to the guides already posted

and yes dishpointer.com can be mentioned in the manner you did it
