So I think that using this technique in general would not be at all reliable, unless you really studied your dish before hand.

Well it is a Fortec 90cm dish with the U-Bolt mount. It is mounted to a
SG2100. I set the motor to elevation via the body line in the motor (learned that from one of your posts
) then just playing around put the angle finder on the lnb arm on the backside of the dish and set according to calculation. For me was 23.5 or something close to that. In this instance it worked great.
