Hello, thanks to Gil and Matousurnet for their response.
I used the ASTRA app on my iPhone to aim the satellite dish at Astra 19.2°
but this method is not very accurate. I don’t know how to use my Humax TN8000HD receiver to point my dish at Astra precisely. Can you provide me with information?
Is there another method?
Thank you in advance

Hello,
These applications only provide an approximation...;-(
For the orientation of the antenna, use this site:
https://www.dishpointer.com/
Enter your address and then choose Astra (19.2° East) in the list, place the target at the location of your satellite dish, and use a landmark (tree, house) to orient yourself.
At the bottom right of the map, you have the elevation, azimuth, and rotation direction in degrees of the head in its collar (cross-polarization adjustment)
Also, use the bar graphs of the decoder by communicating with someone in front of the screen by phone to fine-tune the settings, which should ideally be done using a satellite pointer.
