Abstract
A system and method for aligning an antenna. Signals broadcasted over a number of channels for each of a plurality of orientations of the antenna may be received. From such received signals, information pertaining to at least one of (i) an error rate, (ii) a signal level, (iii) equalizer tap coefficients, and (iv) error correction for each orientation of the antenna for each channel is obtained and used to determine an acceptable orientation for the antenna for each channel.
