What do they mean by..............

[Boogeyman]

Rookie question....what do they mean by LNBF Rotation +34.4 degrees? Do they mean that I have to add 100 degrees so intact the rotation will be 134.4 degrees?

Thanks

What satellite system are you inquiring about? That question sounds like you are using a FTA rather than a DISH branded system.

DISH uses circular polarity so the TS is very likely asking in the wrong subforum.

+34 degrees skew wouldn't be extraordinary in the Corn Belt for a WA market.

In any case, one might need to add 90 degrees to something to make it come out right, not 100.

It's a Dish 1000+ that I am trying to set up.

Are you sure that is a DISH 1000+? It looks more like someone sold you a FTA dish as a DISH 1000+

Setup instructions say Glorystar. I think they're FTA.

Canadians do jones for their US TV.

The numbers are correct for a DISH 1000+.

It would be much easier to use dishpointer.com as it won't make you do the math.
