Pick a spot on the siding where the dish will face in the right direction and the roof won't interfere.
Place the mount of the satellite dish against the vinyl siding and mark where you will drill the pilot holes with a pencil. Drill the number of holes as required by the mount. Place the mount into place and secure it with bolts and a socket wrench. The bolts must reach far enough to go through the vinyl and become secured against the wall underneath the siding.
Place sealant around each bolt to protect it from the weather, rust and corrosion.
Place a J-pole in the middle of the mount. Move the J-pole so its top is on an angle that is level with the ground.
Slide the dish onto the J-pole. Make any minor adjustments to the dish to make sure it's level. Secure the J-pole by tightening the bolt at its base.
Check to ensure your satellite dish is receiving the proper signal. Make any adjustments to the way the satellite faces until the signal is clear and strong.
Tighten the bolts on the back of the satellite dish to secure it in place on the mount.
