that will give you the right angle to aim the dish and where to aim it. No need to worry about skew as circular polarity needs no skew. Its the same however the LNB is aimed.

good luck
That really helped. I haven't succeeded in getting signal on the dish yet, because I have it elevated at 39 deg. (the same as the Directv 101.0 deg sat).

I will probably go out this weekend and set the proper elevation and see if I can get a signal that way.

I ordered a 22 MHz switch off of Ebay, hopefully it will be here by the weekend and I can get the dish permanently mounded.

Well, as permanent as I can until I replace the wooden 4x4 post with the steel pipe as I have often wanted to do.


Thanks
Bill
