I have an AF-1 satellite locator and am slightly confused as to its operation.

My elevation in Pittsburgh is 40-41 degrees.....Dish tells me azimuth 235 or so and dish elevation set to around 30 degrees.

To make sure I do not have any obstructions.....when
locating 119 and 110 satellites.....they are at 28 and 30 degrees I think...do I just site at 28 for the one sat and 30 for the other and view any obstructions in the way looking toward 235 degrees azimuth?
 
From Pittsburgh 110 is at 230 degrees azimuth with a 34 degree elevation angle and 119 is at 239 degrees azimuth with a 29 degree elevation angle. Those are the actual coordinates for a single lnb dish (Dish 300). Use your locator and check those angles. If they're good then you can use two dishes or a dish 500 because the LOS to both satellites is good.
