Need some info from someone with a DTV box

[rkrenicki]

I am working on installing a phase 3 dish before my recievers show up, and I need the Az/El/Skew for ZIP 06320

Can someone with a DirecTV Plus reciever punch in that zip and get me the numbers (specifically the Skew, as I think the El is 28.7 and the Az is 244.7..)

Also, if those numbers are wrong, just shoot me a correction

tilt: 56.9

Thank you lee :up

Voomer: that site is super handy, I kept finding the single lnb directions, and all the sites I found suggested that I refer to professional installation for eliptical dishes.. but I guess I just didnt look hard enough

How are you going to aim it without a receiver to confirm you are looking at all three satellites correctly?

 

[rkrenicki]

I have a signal meter to use for now, and if its not quite right, then I will fine tune when the reciever gets here (should be in the next day or so)

I have a few FTA dishes up on my roof, where it is not that fun to get onto while carrying equiment, So, I wanted to get the dish relatively pointed over the weekend, and tweek it as needed later.

Since the Phase3 just has a 22kHz switch in it, using a tone inject, I believe I have peaked out the dish for optimal signal... but only the real reciever will tell me that for sure.

Heck, get your elevation and skew set, then place your dish in a area that has a clear line of sight for the southern sky, make sure everything is level and thats all you really need to do until you get your receiver(s)!

Yep, already got it, What piece of information I needed was the Skew really (since my el/az numbers were pretty close to begin with)

I just checked the dish with my FTA reciever, since its also pointed at dish networks Echostar 7, and I can see NASA TV in all its Mpeg glory.. Signal level 93%, Signal Quality 99%... cant get much better than that. There isnt anything FTA on 110, and I know that 101 does not (on circular polarization anyways)

Edit: I forgot about GOL TV on 110 dish, but I dont have time to go check it right now, since I have excelent signal on that lnb as well according to my FTA reciever..
