Another Toroidal-55 question.

[Eekombu]

I have subscriptions to both Dishnet & Directv. I am trying to place both subscriptions on the T-55.

I thought it would be pretty simple to install, but I can't find out what -56 degrees Elevation is.

Should be simple, but not for me.
What is -56 degrees, please.

[Iceberg]

location?

I know when I entered the info onto the T90 form to give me the numbers for the LNB's, I had to use -93.5 for longitude (since the system did it by east)

56 may be your elevation

Thank you for your wisdom Iceberg.

Latitude: 32.08 N (32 4' 47")
Longitude: 52.59 E (52 35' 24")

[Iceberg]

I assume you mean 52.59W

I went to http://www.satlex.de/en/wavefrontier_calc.html and entered the info
32N -52W and entered the 3 satellites (101, 110, 119) and I got

elevation of dish- 38.5
skew 38

But I dont know exactly where 52W is but it sounds like the carribean. I thought you needed a huge dish (6 foot) to get Dish or Direct?

[Eekombu]

Yes, that's 56.37 W, to be exact. And my location is in Mississippi.

The settings I submitted are the ones I got from my GPS system. I submitted the information that Wave Frontier requests two weeks ago, I hadn't heard from them as of monday of this week.

I re-submitted them on on monday & still no info.

Iam relocating to Mississippi, the wife says "No multiple dishes...period!"

Thanks for your help.

I found an error I made. Sorry for the confusion.


32.08N
88.59W

[Iceberg]

you can use the link I provided above for the info

But using the corrected lat/longitude I get

46 elevation for dish
68.3 for skew of dish

Thanks Iceberg.

I had to take a few days off (brain fried).

I tried the settings and I'm still not going.

I will keep trying though.
