Can't find SAT Please Help

[judiquer]

I am trying to set up my dss system and can;t get locked in on satellite. My long is 45° 37' N and lat is 62° 37' W.
Can someone please give me the correct elevation and AZ for this. I have 242.7 and 28.5 but I am not sure if this is right.

Thanks in advance....

Go to the dish pointing screen of your ird/receiver and plug in your zip code...it'll give you the right pointing coordinates.

I tried your Lat/Long (you've got 'em backwards, BTW) and they came back as "Invalid."

Your elevation setting should be somewhere around 42 degrees. Set your elevation and aim for the Gulf of Mexico, South of Houston.

Good Luck

Hey I don't have a zip ..I am in Canada...Sorry its my fault on the long and lat I do have them backwards. It should be 45N and 062W in the reciever defaults to 45N and 065W..Which gives me 28.5 and 242.7
