Looking at your location, (doing some quick crunching of #s) with a single circular type lnb on a 20" dish, you should hit 72.7°w. Your az would be @ 210.9° magnetic and elevation @ 37.8°, well within the parameters needed.

I`m in New Brunswick and use a 24" dish for 72.7 and get a great signal.I have tried a 18" and the signal was still very good.

if your using a sonic view 8000 you need to scan with bin 14 . then you can switch to newest bin to watch.

I suggest you read some "newer" threads in the sv 8000 section
