Make sure pole is level!!

For buffalo, NY ... the lat is 42.89 and long is 78.86

so aim your dish like this:

Elevation : 24 (you must remember that elevation scales on dishes are not always what they show. That is why its important to slowly adjust the elevation up or down for the maximum signal you can get.)

Azimuth: 234 without mag var, 244 with. So aim your compass at about 245. Remember, slowly left or right to find the best signal possible in the vicinity of 240-50 compass heading. Even if the signal makes a small difference.

LNB: looking at the dish, rotate lnb LEFT to about 40.

What you are looking for is QUALITY.. so many times signal is not significant. Remember patience is required.. and small movements. Please tell us how it goes.
1. Ok, dtv stuff set aside.
2. pole is level. Verified with bubble level.
3. Used your TP recommendation.
4. Your numbers agree with my numbers.

Tried just now with portable TV. Set to 24. I moved the dish side to side from 240-250 in 1/4 in (at the LNB) increments, and waited about 10 secs for indication. Nothing.
I moved the dish up a bit, repeat process (till it was at about 30 deg), and down a little a little at a time (till it was at down "limit" of the pole mount I have). Nothing.

I'm not sure what to do now.
