He might as well have I cant find it. Just set up my DTC 100 and oval dish I cant find it. Any tips? I got a signal of 98 on 101. Tilt is right if the west side of the dish is lower. Im on the east coast. I have spent hours and searched forums PLEASE HELP.

110 for me is about 5 Deg. higher. and to the left of 119 (From the back of the dish). Here is a file from Dish Network that may help.

When I went HD, I made the mistake of taking down my round dish and upgrading to an oval. I could never get better than a 72 average and still get both sattelites even though I could get a 97 average on either sat individually. I even had a professional installer come to try and repoint to no avail.

Then, I read a post somewhere here that made perfect sense to me (and I was embarrased that I didn't think of it myself). Why not just leave my 110 dish alone and buy a second round dish and point it to the 119 sat. You can then get the best signal possible on both sattelites. I haven't tried it yet, but it sounds like it should work perfectly.

FYI. You will still need the multiswitch that combines the two sattelite locations.

Hope this helps.
