    looking to setup 82 91 with either of these dishes.. can a noob do it ?

    used to have them setup up with 110, 119 and i think 129 is on the other dish.

    Point the center LNB to peak at 82, if needed skew the dish to get good signal on 91--though the dish does not look like one that has skew adjustment. (I'm assuming from the pic that the center was for 110 and the off-angle one for 119 )

    well it was my first time giving it a go today and didn't have much luck, i originally had a friend set up the dish for 110 and 119 for me, i found the details for 82,91 on a website and said i needed, 39 elevation, 201 azimuth and 95.9 scew. Im confuzed about the elevation as i have it set on the dish on my roof, im not sure the dish is elevation is correct with the pitch of the roof. I later found a free app called satfinder lite, that allows you view the sats in through the camera AR and see the elevation and azimuth, its pretty much what the original number i have are, but i have no idea at what location to use this to confirm. I have posted a few pictures of the dish and my settings as well. any help would be great.

    also should 91 be on the middle of the dish and 82 to the left ? 2017-02-19 16.37.37.jpg2017-02-19 16.43.15.jpg2017-02-19 16.47.44.jpg2017-02-19 16.48.58.jpg

    the arm supporting the dish needs to be perfectly plumb

    I know I had to change settings on the box. From your pics it looks like you are getting 91 since the S&Q are different than your 82 but the settings are not correct. I played with the LNB and the switch settings.

    I actually like to have the dish post not be plumb. If you have the dish swinging on an arc that more closely follows the satellite arc, then elevation changes are less. Sort of like letting the AZ-EL mount act like polar mount. Course that means the EL readings get odd, but I don't use the AZ-El marks as much as I use spectrum analyser and signal meters of box.

    The part of the mounting mast where the dish mounts to needs to be as plumb as you can get it, this is plumb left to right, front to back, otherwise you will have problems finding the satellites.

    On the LNB's shown in you photo, there looks to be a problem, they don't look to be the same types, and they don't look to be mounted right as the look to be skewed out at different angles, the center LNB needs to be pointing directly to the center of the dish.

    What type/brands are these LNB's?

    And it would be better to change the mount to a dual LNB type, this makes for less of a hassle to correctly align the dish to two satellites.

    If you cant change the LNB mount then use an alignment and skew setting for three satellites off the dishpointer.com web site, (use the one for 110/119/101, as that's what the mount is setup for) this should give you the correct direction, elevation and skew settings for that type of mount.

    If things are not mounted correctly you will be loosing a lot of hair trying to set this up.

    One other thing, if you live in the US then you need to be within 200 miles South or so from the US/Canadian border to get any useful signals on 91/82, any further South and it's a waist of time.

    i previously had 110 and 119 working with this setup. I really dont know much about the brand of lnbs or dish as i had a guy do this for me years ago. also for using dish pointer do you mean i should look for 82, 91, 101w ?. as im trying to get get 82 91. if i punch in 110/119/101 would i be going for 82 91 ? im kinda confused by that
