sometimes the settings that are given to you on dishpointer and other sat locator sites are incorrect.get the best azimuth signal that you can,then start playing with your elevation.

Sorry Venture, you have been here long enough to know better. Rule #1, no discussion of the northern providers. Don't jack threads either!
