WooHoo!!!! I got it!

OK, I have to admit I'm a big idiot. When I was looking at the page on your site I noticed you describing the dish elevation settings and it didn't seem to match your picture (so I thought). Then in a huge DOH! moment I realized I was aligning it wrong. I was going off the center of the bolt for some reason not the nice straight, easy to read line. Oh well, hours wasted but at least I have a signal now.

So on my true south satellite I am getting about 65% - 70% on signal and quality. And I'm getting the Gospel channel in really nice. I have searched a bit and found a few other channels, mostly spanish language and Ohio Racing or something. I seem to not get the farther west satellites very well. I don't know if that means I'm not 100% plum, even though when I check it looks like I am. Or if that just means I need to peak things in a little better. Its raining tonight too so I don't know if that might make a difference on weaker satellites.

Are there any particular satellites that I should look for to the west (110+W) that have good signal strength?

I did a little exploring tonight but like I said didn't find much.

Thanks again everyone for all the help!

Brian
