(southern va.) slowly move the dish side to side untill you get the 119 sat. this will prove

Yep, I took the receiver, TV, Honda Generator, meter, dish, etc. to what I assumed to be a clear shot. No luck with my read of the azimuth/elevation. I'll try your suggeston for the flat skew. I get great signal when I put the dish on the roof. Nothing on the ground.
Think I need to find a azimuth and elevation range for the 119 satellite. My makeshift inclination gauge says the satellites are very high in the sky and distant tree shouldn't be a problem. Surely, the flat skew and looking for one satellite should give me some chance for success. Just too hot today to mess with the alignment. Heavy storm took the signal out for an hour.
Thanks for you help.
