Viewsat Ultra V2 with Dish 500 duel lnb What direction do I point the dish?

[chawkjim]

I'm in SW Florida and would like to know what direction should the dish be pointed . Is this a good setup for me being a rookie and never messed with this before . Do I need any setup signal equipment Cable tone or anything like this?
What sats do I want? I need help this is so overwhelming.

A Dish 500 is relatively easy to aim and is commonly used for sats 119W and 110W. You will get over 500 channels just by aiming at those two sats.

Just so you will be ok ... I will give you the rough numbers for Miami FL, and you can check them by going to the above sites.

Sat dish elevation approx 42 degrees
Sat dish azimuth 237 degrees (close to South-South-West)
Sat dish skew 130 degrees, or 41 degrees from vertical
(dish rotated almost 1/8th, top towards west) (90 deg is vertical)
