Function
-
A properly installed satellite dish can pick up two separate satellites at one time. This provides double reception to produce quality images and audio on the television.
Identification
-
The tilt, or polarization, is one of three dish adjustments. Different from the azimuth and elevation settings, tilt is how the dish is oriented rotationally. As described by DirecTV Plus, tilt is like turning a steering wheel for the best reception.

Considerations
-
The alignment of the dish, including tilt, is different for every location. Typically, a dish alignment setup procedure, through the satellite receiver box, will walk a consumer through the adjustment process.
