Why not just key in the zip into a receiver? They give all that info also. I think all receivers have this in the setup menu's.

Bill you can pull up the info by hooking up your receiver and going to the point dish screen.

Thanks for the infon. Do you know if the azimuth and elevation are the same for the regular 18" dish as they are for the 18x20 dish and are the all three the same for the 18x20 dish as they are for the 18x24 dish?

Thanks a bunch for your help. (is that a picture of Bush or are you his twin?)

that is Bush.

the co-ords for the 18" are a bit different, but the 3-LNB dishes should be the same regardless for overall size.

18"
AZ: 226
EL: 35
SK: no skew for 18" dish

Nope, I am not Tom. Been Bill G for 60+ years, Wild Bill for most of them billhdtv for the last 7 years. I went back and read the post on tivo forum. Very close to same wording I used. Life is full of funny little coincidences. Go ask Tom if he is Bill. If he is then I got no idea who I am

It's just that the question asked in that link I posted was worded almost exactly as yours was. Maybe he saw your question and copied it.

Tonedeaf,
I noticed.

Actually I think Tom posted his question first by a full day. I just think we both needed the same question answered and happen to both live in the same zip code. Kind of neat to know we are not alone.
