What is your Zip Code? I can give you the 101 info from D*...

 

[dfergie]

btw there is not an E* satellite there...

There is no dish satellite at 101..

But in any event if you're looking to find any Dish satellite, if you already have a dish receiver it will tell you the locations in the point dish screen.

other things you can use are the sat tracker at www.lyngsat.com

Otherwise go to sadoun, I believe they have the needed info there... link at top of page...

Go here. http://www.arachnoid.com/satfinder/ One click where it says "click here to run java" Enter you zip code and all sat positions are shown with true and magnetic.

This site gives you headings already corrected for your local magnetic variations.

Per your example your magnetic correction is plus 10 degrees so just add
10 to any satellite location.

i was looking for 101 because these dishes you can buy state that they work with 110, 119 and 101 - so i just assumed that there was a satellite i can received DN on 101


but thanks for the info i think you told me what i need to know.
