Dish aiming help

[Rengel]

our dish had to be moved due to some construction, about 2 feet south.
I can get sat 110 with a good signal, but can’t get 119 or 121.
Anyone help me save the two weeks and $155 for the dish tech coming out?

Assuming you're seeing 110 on the middle LNB (where 119 should end up), you'll need to move 9 degrees to the West (right when looking from the back of the dish) and UP (or down depending on where you are in CONUS) a couple of degrees.

I suggest putting some tape or chalk on the joints to indicate where you get 110 so you can return there if needed.

$155!!??? WTH?

 

[Rengel]

Yeah, and $155 up front just to make the appointment!
I moved the dish, went to Walmart and got a compass to help with aim. Now I get 119 and 129 but no 110

Are you using the flat sides of the mount as the aiming point for the azimuth and not the LNB arm? Unless your skew setting is close to 90 degrees, the arm will not work for the azimuth alignment.

I was not using those, but when I moved it 9 degrees left (that is to the east when standing behind the dish) I lost all 3 satellites. Even moving the elevation up and down.

Raise elevation up 3 degrees and go back east.

Sent from my Note 8 using the SatelliteGuys app!

That worked, thanks everyone!
