Help pointing dish

[Chad5286]

Hi everyone. I am a Newbie to this forum and was wondering if anyone can help me with help pointing my dish for DN 110/119. Dual Lnb with round dish. Can't seem to find coridenets for Shannonville,ON Canada. Any help would be mostly appreciated. Thanks

Just curios how to get the skew for 58.1'degrees if it don't go that low do you just add it to the flat 90' so it would be 148.1' skew?

You probably input wrong data. For a dish 500+ for your town it shows skew of 121.9, elevation of 27.

Ok thanks fn59 I will try setting it to that.

Ok friends. This is the problem I'm having. Circular dish,dual Lnb and a diseqc 4X1 switch. I am using an old d*^h reciever to try to get my dish locked on 110/119 before hooking up my Pinwheel HD reciever. Ok here's the problem. No matter what I set the dish at all the coordinates I use the I don't get any reaction on signal bar no matter where I move the dish. Any help would be greatly appreciated from all masters of sat. Thanks.
PS: Mounting Pole is at 90' rechecked just to make sure.

Don't use a Diseq with a DN ird...go straight from lnb to ird.

Ok noof so should I use a switch 21 just to get both 110/119 and once it's locked on then I can take out the switch 21 and hook up my diseqc switch and pinwheel. Thanks for the quick response.

Yes.....................................

Please post some photos of your dish and LNB's as there are several types of DP single dual output LNB's, mixing them can cause problems.

Ok thanks for the help noof

The bell reciever will not pick up anything period!

[fn59]

Have you done a check switch with the sw21 hooked up?

Download an app satfinder, it is free with great options!!

I just swing dish around while lifting it up and down. I would not bother with old box, just use the newer as long as it has a decent signal strength indicator that you can watch or listen to out at the dish. You might setup the dish and box where it is handy to do so just to get an idea of where in the sky you need to point and rough in the el and az. Start with just one LNB hooked up.
I have posted equations for az el calcs in the past and you can pick up eqs at lots of places on the web.
