Parts of the Antenna
Follow the instructions on this side of the manual if setting up the Anser® antenna
for use with DISH programming. If setting up the Anser for use with DIRECTV
Programming, follow the instructions on the reverse side of the manual.
Before Installing the Antenna
Congratulations on purchasing the Winegard
system that requires a user elevation setting to automatically acquire the desired satellite. As the user, you will
need to know which satellite you would like to view and the corresponding elevation angle for that satellite. Under
“Compatible Satellites,” different popular satellite options are outlined along with the programming offered via each
satellite. Elevation and coverage maps are also included to help you determine the correct elevation angle and
coverage for certain satellites.
The Anser antenna requires the following simple steps before operation:
1. Find elevation angle via receiver menu or provided maps*.
2. Hook up the antenna, and manually set the elevation to the correct elevation angle for your area.
3. Get to the signal meter screen on your receiver.
4. Plug in the unit—the unit will search and find the strongest signal.
5. If the system stops on a signal but is not on the desired satellite for viewing, the unit will move to the next signal
found in 45 seconds. Once you have signal on your desired satellite, unplug the power to the unit.
6. Watch TV!
*Elevation angles may not be displayed in the receiver menu for satellite 72° (recommended as a single satellite
solution for DISH® HD programming) or 129°. If the elevation angle is not displayed in the receiver menu, use the
provided elevation and coverage maps to find the elevation angle for your current location.

for HD programming
129°: Western satellite, majority of
HD programming

TIP
angle may present issues in getting clear line-of-sight to the satellite. In those
circumstances, use one of the western satellites (110°, 119°, or 129°). Note
that the 72° and 129° satellites require an HD receiver.
Receivers
The 72° and 129° satellites require
an HD receiver.
The 72° satellite is recommended as a single satellite solution for
DISH® HD programming. In the Northwest, the extremely low elevation
Antenna Feet
The antenna has four feet on
the bottom of the unit. Each foot
has two mounting spots on the
underside of the antenna. The
antenna will come with the feet in
the inside holes.
If mounting the antenna on
Winegard Model TR-1518 tripod,
mount the feet in the inside holes.
For extra support, mount the feet in
the outside holes.
