New 5 LNB dish tilt?

[230kvdr]

230kvdr here and I have a question, does anyone have the magic formula for the tilt degrees on a new 5 LNB directv dish the AU9-S. The location is 91750 and thats 30 miles east of Los Angeles, Calif. I'm using a HR10-250 DVR...91750 = 34 degrees North and 117 Degrees West. Thanks!!

What info does the rec. tell you ?
I would use that as a starting point and go from there.

Your H20 or HR20 should tell you what tilt you need. It's usually within a couple degrees.

The most important thing to do is make sure the mast is absolutely plumb. Otherwise, it won't make a bit of difference what you set the tilt to.
