I got a question, what is Calgary's Azimuth / Elevation. I ask this because I tried one of those Dish Pointing Programs (like the one found @ dssunderground and many other sites) and it gives me a Azimuth of 163.3 & a Elevation of 30.2, but when I goto the Dish Point (Option 7 on my 4th Gen RCA) I go to Enter Calgary's North Latitude & West Longitude and I get a Azimuth of 145 and a Elevation of 30. Which Azimuth is correct or are they both wrong?

WELL IT LOOKS KILE THE ELEVATION IS THE SAME BUT THE AZ IS NOT. THE ONLY THING I CAN ADVISE YOU TO DO IS PUT THE ELE ON 30 AND JUST START AT 145 AND GO TO 163. IF THAT DONT WORK THEN TURN THE DISH ALL THE WAY TO THE RIGHT OR LEFT AND MOVE SLOWLY BACK TO THE LEFT OR RIGHT. BUT WHEN YOU MOVE LET IT STAY THERE FOR A FEW SEC TO SEE IF IT PICKS UP A SIGNAL AND IF IT DONT THE MOVE IT A little BIT MORE AND STOP....SO ON AND SO ON.....
