Installtion help for T55

[mtakako]

I just recently brought a used t55 and is having problem setting up the T55 to recieve 82, 91, and 110. I used the SatLex Digital :: Technology :: Calculators :: WF Toroidal Calculator for the setup position but is having problem getting signal. When I setup the T55, do I set the skew to 0 first and than play with skew once elevation is set? Do I try to aim to get 91 first or try 110 since the signal on 110 should be weaker for me. I am located in edmonton, alberta, canada. And If I do setup 91 first, do I used the 91 measurement to configure the dish? I am a newbee at this, any help will be greatly appreciated.

anyone? Try to do this again and brought a better compass. Still the same problem. Seems like I can never get anything pass 75 quality. I try to aim the dish to just get the 91 ( using the 91 azumith , elevation) value from satlex. But still no success. Am I doing something wrongs? Also, the elevation and skew is totally off as compared to the value given by the Torroidal calculation. Anyone know if the calculator is correct?

What kind of receiver are you using?

I am using a viewsat ultra right now, but planning to buy the SV 8000.

OK, well I must ask you to read the RULES of this forum before posting any further.

91 is one of the Bell ExpressVu satellites and 110 is Dishnetwork.

If your receiver is a Viewsat that pretty much tells me all I need to know.

Thanks.
