PhaseIII dtv dish skew?

[evilmegaman]

i know im not the only one who doesnt get it...... i used (dishpnt.exe) for the super dish setup it spat out 71 for the skew and now i cant figure out how to covert it for the phaseIII dish.--- here's one of the explanations on how to do it-

" take the angle that is provided by dishpnt.exe for the super dish and subtract 90 for the skew angle… now subtract the result again by 90 and you will have your new skew for the dtv elliptical dish "

I ENDED UP WITH (-71) FOR MY SKEW~ SOMETHING TELLS ME THAT'S WRONG
im surprised there isnt a sticky just for this

There is a sticky for the Phase III, just use the search for it. The Phase III is not compatible because of the internal switch. The only thing they are good for is getting 1 sat. really no need to mess with the skew.

yeah i looked at the sticky for the phaseIII dish and like i said i dont get how to convert the skew , as you can see in the pic i replaced the dtv lnb with fta lbn's

Just pretend that you are looking up for a dish 500....that will put you close enough to tune it all in

Just use a calculator for DTV and it will give you your skew for you location.

thanks guys( especially FTALOOKER ) ive just found the the time to setup my dish using the info from " Satellite look-angle calculator[/url] " and it worked perfectly( i am missing some transponders but i knew that would happen using this dish). sorry it took me so long too get back to you guys but its a whole production to unhook my receiver from my home theater system then hook everything up outside and brake out the ladder THANKS AGAIN!
