There is a good guide on Sadoun's site. You may want to take a look at this: http://www.sadoun.com/Sat/Installation/HH-mount-installation.htm

For what its worth, I just did my first install. A few tidbits I can point out.

1) Double and triple check the plumb-ness of the pipe you are installing your dish on. Use a level (it's only a few bucks if you don't have one) and run it around the pipe (not just laying it on top).

2) Double check the elevation on the dish. I found out that on most systems there is a "mark" or something that you should use as a guide, not just installing the bolt where you want the degrees to be set (my big mistake)

3) Take a compass reading (or a complicated solar reading) to find true south (note: at this time of the year, the sun is not "exactly due south" at noon, and it can vary by a few minutes depending on where you live). Dont' forget the magnetic declanation.

Once you have this, I found it very very helpful to put a line on the ground that was due south (I used an old rake handle as a due south line).

I took a small tv, the receiver, and the dish outside and tweaked and turned it for a few hours. Once I had a pretty good signal, I ran the line into the house and set up the receiver on my big tv.

Good luck.
