Thanks rainman, I found AMC5 and also got the Weather Network on Nimiq2. I may have a problem in that I have about 150' of RG 6 cable. Picture is very good, however my signal to move the dish seems to be very erratic. Sometimes it will move, other times it will not. Also had the dish move to some unprogrammed location a few times. I can shorten the cable to around 100' ,but it will take some drilling through a wall that I didn't want to do.

I ended up setting my dish (not motor) elevation about 5 degrees higher than calculated to get AMC5 and Nimiq2. However I have not tried any lower satellites. Would like a lower satellilte suggestion if you could

Thanks again
Ken
