I used to install sat dishes for Dishnet in Waterloo Ontario Canada. I recently checked the site "dishpointer dot com" to refresh my coordinates for sats 110w and 119w using a dish 500. I am very puzzled by what it shows for the skew settings. I have always set the skew at 120. DishPointer coordinates show skew at 59.5. That's a 180 from what I have always used.
Can anyone confirm the skew setting?
Thanks
Try a few locations and comparing what is different?

That's because you chose Dish 500 from the multi lnb list :)Quote:

if he would have hovered his mouse over Dish Skew, it would have told him that he might need to subtract the number from 180
120 skew for Waterloo sounds right.
Thanks guys. Appreciate the guidance. I thought 120 was correct.
