    I see what you are saying. Looks like the previous tenant had a dish system setup. Looks to be in a good spot, and if it would work, I wouldn't need to wall mount mine when it comes in. However, I do not not if its plumb or anything till I climb up there. In a perfect world I should be able to...

    need a push in the right direction.

    Sounds like Im on the right track, Now not to be confusing, but do I set the dish up on my true south sans satellite or do I make amc 5 my true south setting. What I mean is if I set it up for amc 5 it should track the arc with USALS correct ?
