So anyway, moving on.... the 33" oval is mounted straight, with NO skew on the pan. Sat calculator game me elevation of 22.6 (Sudbury, closest city) and I've tried up and down a little from there - the dish is aimed just a little to the right of 119 (didn't use a compass) but from playing around I didn't detect ANY quality...
First of all, you will need to skew your lnb to get G10. Second, I got closer to 23 degrees for elevation. However I'm really confused by your "119" ? The azimuth for G10 should be something like 230.4 (not including your magnetic deviation correction), not 119, so I'm not sure what you're referring to here.

Did you go to the section in the Sadoun page that relates to a fixed dish?
