Dish Alignment

First of all thanks for a very helpful site--the best I've seen regarding aligning satellite dishes.
I have searched the forums and I didn't see this question answered but if I missed it my apologies.
I haven't yet received my Directv receiver so it may become clearer once I get that, but if I have a triple LNB oval DTV dish which sat. do I use to aim the dish - 101, 110 or 119?
Secondly, the skew for two of them is negative and for one it is positive--which do you use? I'm assuming that the tilt at the top is supposed to be used for the skew.
Thanks for any help

Tuning the Multi Sat Dish is Pretty Easy, Here is some advise.
When you get your System its going to ask you (Depneding on the System) Should be the newer System Im Sure. For your Dish Type. Simply Choose 3lnb Oval, That will tell you your Scew (Tilt), Azmith, and Elevation. After that it ok therw a few more screens and you should be at the Signal Meter Screen.. Its Usually Set at Sat 101 Transponder 2, Leave it there and Go to Town Assembling the Dish.. Big Thing Though..... Are ya REady..... Do the Tilt (Scew) before you Assemble ANYTHING.. Do it First and Make it Tight and Dont Try to change that to Tweak the Signal.. If you undo it with the Dish Mounted your going to have on Helluva Time getting it all lined up and Strait Again and on the Correct Rotation Position.. Good Luck Man.
WiLL

Its really Easy to do...
