    Can't seem to get this right

    I have a 30in Winegard dish, one of those 119/118 LNBs, and a older SG2100 motor that I brought about 2 years ago. Yes I have been buying little by little!
    I went to dishpointer.com and here is that I got from there:

    Latitude: 40.9098°
    Longitude: -74.6481°

    Motor Latitude: 40.9°
    Declination Angle: 6.4°
    Dish Elevation: 24°
    Elevation: 42.7°
    Azimuth (true): 180.0°
    Azimuth (magn.): 192.9°


    So, I set my motor latitude to 40.9 and the dish to 24 but can't see to hit anything. I then changed my motor's latitude to 42.7 and left the dish elevation to 24 and it seems that I can only hit 110.

    What am I doing work? I watched the video posted and they said that the dish elevation should be the latitude minus the declination (40.9-6.4)= 34.5.

    Should me dish elevation be 34.5?
