Aiming Dish 500 (twin lnbf)

[Mod_Master]

Hey guys, wondering if you can help me out, i've been trying for days now to setup my dish 500 twin lnbf dish (not dish pro)

I have locked onto the 119 bird with a signal strength of over 100, but cannot seem to track 110. I have tried moving the skew angle and still get nothing.

Any thing i am doing wrong? or is there another method of aiming?

Thanks

i have a dish 500 system and also had a hard time with that your skew may be off,,, there are some programs that can help you locate the right skew for you,,,

i am in the great white north,,, what i did is i got a gps location of where i was and entered that into some software that is available here http://www3.telus.net/rampage/skew.htm

this should help you if not give me a ring

:( used the site thanks for that info king.

For toronto i got the following co-ordinates

Azimuth 225.39
Elavation 28.6
Skew 117

tried those settings and strangley enough i got nothing not even 119 showed up on those settings.

I am currently setup as follows (for dish 500)
Azimuth around 230-236
Elavation 28-29
Skew 60


With my current signal i get a signal strength of over 110 on 119 bird. What is strange is that the program told me to use a skew of 117 yet i get a great signal of 119 at a skew of 60, thats almost 2 different extremes.

Still no sign og 110 though.

I know for a fact that the azimuth alone for 119 is 230 while the Azimuth of 110 is 220. The only posibility i could think of why 110 is not being received is due to a tree that is infornt of me.

But that tree is even infornt of the 119 bird, yet i receive a very high signal on 119. If 119 can get through at over 100 signal strength, then shouldn't 110 also be able to get through? (btw its a pine tree :) )
