    What is the provider you're using as some don't work anymore? Is it NFPS:

    according to the specs in the manual, it is only good for qpsk modulated signals. Dish is using mostly turbo 8psk on it's tp's. There may be some tp's still usinp qpsk. If the satellite listing has directv 110 and 119 you might be able to use those if dn no longer has tp's using qpsk.

    Use the 118.8W satellite it is still QPSK and a linear frequency bird (but is circuraly polarized)

    118.8 and 119 are co-located, and should be the center LNB on your dish, however you will need the special 118/119 LNB or one setup for that bird.

    You can also setup the dish by using dishpointer.com, this will find the satellites by an active map, it will give you a line pointing to the satellites from your location.

    I have found that taking the receiver your going to use (and a small TV) up to the dish and use that to aim your dish is the best way to go. I have seen dishes aimed with at sat finder only to have a grap single when connected to the receiver, that is because all tuners inside receivers are not created equal and some are much weaker than others, it can be a bit of a pain in the azz but if you can do it that way it's can be the best way in the long run.

    Go to dishpointer.com like Terryl suggested, and setup your Dishes from the settings dishpointer gives for your Location and
    sat. you want to point at. Will give you a line of sight where to point
