Your SD stations are on 110 and 119 if you have a dish 500 system and your HD 's are either on 129 or 61.5, depending on your location. The azimuth magnetic is the direction you point your dish using a compass and the azimuth true is without magnetic deviation. (Use magnetic)

TV Dish Setup shows how we set up our dish. For the Dish 1000 dish, you need to download the Di ah 1000 manual from Dish to get the setup values. You start with the ZIP code and that gives you the azimuth, elevation, and skew.

You can follow links from that page about tripods to use.
