7- What Orbital location should the dish
be pointed to?
For All New Subscribers, The Satellite Dish should be pointed towards signal 118.7° in order
to receive the Arabic programming. Your installer should be able to acquire the proper signal
for you upon installation.
Most of the channel Grids arrive either late or they change at the last minute.
DISH Network requires at least 3-5 business days to update the EPG in case of any last minute
changes.
The EPG mistakes are common on any TV Station, but a little bit more on the Arabic Channels.
According to the Dish Network’s Policy your account must be older than 1 year in order to be
able to put it on pause
