Ignore them - it might take a bit of trial and error but you'll get it lined up in the end :

OMG I have never heard setting up a sat dish made to sound so bloody complicated. Point it in the rough direction of every other dish in your street, put the signal monitor on the sat receiver on the television and tell who ever has the dish to sweep slowly right to left and then go up and down ever so slightly until you get onto the bird (satellite)

The signal meter on the screen should tell you when you have the best signal and then lock on accordingly . Be patient is all , its a cake walk (she says with 19 years military telecommunications background ;D )
