I have a NATsat 1000A FTA dish and receiver. Since satellite positions were changed over a year ago I have not been able to receive anything, although I put in all the new numbers on the receiver. Someone else used the receiver on their dish 30 miles away and it works. I need to reposition the dish to receive signals. Can someone provide the coordinates I need. I am located in the central time zone in southeastern Minnesota. Thanks for any and all help.
 
are you trying to receive IA5 (T5/G25 AKA the satellite at 97 west)?
(your title shows T5 so I just took a stab ;)
 
T5/G25/IA5 .. all the same (my zenith still shows T5 in the menus). Sure wish there was a quick/easy way to cross-reference all of the names from a place like lyngsat.
 
for your area (you're just down the road from me in the twin cities) :)

elevation for dish is 39
azimuth (e-w aiming in sky) is 190
skew is +5

Thanks, Iceberg! That should help me get in the right direction. Now all I need is a little patience trying to pinpoint the exact spot. Many thanks.
