Hi I am hoping someone can give me some idea of how to set up my dish. I have set the elevation according to the installation guide (23.9 for Vancouver) and skew 62.7. without any success. As I am rotating the dish I am able to get the 119 and 124 birds for Dish network at 100% if I tilt the up. I've been at this for 4 hours now and no matter what I do, I can't even get a blip on the 91 or 82. I am hoping someone can give me some insight into this. HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

HI;
Here in Cranbrook the installation for the azimuth is 130 degrees not what the bell book says. the elevation according to bell is 26 degrees again here in cranbrook were shooting about 28 to 29 degrees. You have to use the skew they given you although i've skewed in at 28. if your hitting the 119 bird I believe that your actually not moving to the left far enough. If your willing to spend a couple bucks go to the source (Radio Shack) and get a sat finder. The sat finder is about 20 bucks I think. You'll pick up the sat quicker and be able to maximize your signal from Bell.
