You need to know the altitude of the satellite (and azimuth obviously) to aim the dish. Otherwise you won't get a signal. In the case of a geostationary satellite, the altitude is approximately 22,236 miles. This is in conflict with a lot of FE models but is verified every time someone in a different location aims a satellite dish at the same satellite. You only need three dishes to confirm you are pointing to the same coordinate in 3D space though.
