I am currently pointing at the 119 and 110 with a Dish 500. It is set at elevation 29 and skew at 119. I seem to have a lot of going in and out and can't seem to get good quality anymore. Am I in the right ball park for the Kincardine, ON location. Please advise if someone can.

I have two legacy lnbs with a dishnet switch. As I said in the above post it was fine until the bad storms last week and I tried to tweak it but I only have quality of 40 with a signal that is really low. Any idea what the settings should be on the dish itself. Or can you direct me to a signal pointing calculater so the I can get the numbers I need for the elevation and skew. Thanks so much.
