All good points. I guess it depends on where you are.
tom, yes, you can align the oval dish, and step-by-step instructions are included. But the challenge is that the three satellites are not all at the same elevation, although they are in a line.* What they do with the oval dish is have you rotate it clockwise or counter so that the three LNBs are parallel to the angle that the three satellites are where you live. It can be tricky, because the rotation is for some reason not always correct. Some of my faster installs have been done where I have tweaked the A LNB in the high 80s and have accepted 70s for the B and C.
*look up "ecliptic" to see why this is

A good answer is easier with a clear question giving the make and model of everything.
