Default Satellite Position Notation

I am trying to set up a dish for receiving satellite television.
I had assumed that I understood the meaning of, for example,
28.2 degrees East.
I assumed that this meant 28.2 degrees east of north.
Or possibly 28.2 degrees past east.
But then, what can 122.2 degrees East mean ?
I have hunted for an explanation but it seems to be regarded as being
self-evident.
Unfortunately, it is not self-evident to me.
I would be grateful for elucidation from anyone.
