Do I have all these numbers right?

I just got the perfect choice system in the mail and am starting to set it up. I have the mast nice and level and solid and am starting to put the dish mover and the dish together. I think I have figured out all the angles but I am not sure. Can someone check all this out?

My zip code is 84321 which puts my lattitute at 41.68 N and longitute 111.64 W. According to the chart I should set the angle of the Stab HH100 to 49 degrees. I have that set.

Now the dish angle is what is confusing me. The calculator gives me a p value of 42.6 so I do 42.6-(60-41) I get -23.6 Is that the angle I should put on the dish? This dish has an offset angle of 24.62. Do I have to take that into account or are the markers on the side doing that for me?

So far I have told the usals to put me on Telstar 7 TP1:RTVE Freq 03707 Pol H s/r 07174. I have a signal of 70 (pretty much no matter what) and quality of 0. Obviously I have messed something up? Anybody see what it is?

Thanks,
Cody
