I have a reception of 80% but no sat quality. I'm useing a ditecttv dish and it's pointed to the same position it was when useing the directtv service. Any help for a newbie>?

TH card is not designed for DirectTV. You can re-aim your Directv dish to one of the DishNetwork for FTA music channels. Most of DishNet video channels are encrypted. Or you can get a bigger dish, 76cm/90cm dish to get linear Ku FTA signal.

I'm around new orleans. Is there a site which can tell me where to point my dish for dishnetwork rather than directv.

Thanks

I use a program (free to download) called 'Satfinder'. It will give you the satellite locations based on your ZIP or GPS coordinates.

thanks for that info, I will look for the download.

the dish bird(main) is at 119.DN has 2 birds at 110 (6 & 8,I think).so...you can use your DTV oval dish to get 3 DN birds w/ just a little tweak.Or...if you have a single dish,go for 119 using a DN receiver.

I just connected straight to my 24" DTV dish and was able to get Dish 119 automatically. I heard there are a couple more in teh apature of my dish but I don't have a Disqec switch yet to know for sure.

With the DTV oval w/ 3 LNB's,you should be on the 119 and 110 birds.
