I wanted to know if I can get the 81/92 satellites from a dish 500? And if so what the settings are, elevation, skew, azimuth? everytime I find specs on it it says a number for the skew that the dish doesnt have. I wanted to see if anyone new what the true settings are. My zip code is 63390. thank you!!!

I take it you have a ExpressVu subscription?

yes

OK...just wanted to make sure as this was originally in the Dish area :)

for your zip I get the following
82W
44 elevation
166 azimuth
80 skew

for 91W
45 elevation
180 azimuth
90 skew (0 skew as this is your true south satellite)

so splitting it down the middle (since both LNB's are offset)
44.5 elevation
skew to 85 (1/2 way between 0 skew which is 90 and 80 skew)

took from Sadoun's sat finder
Satellite Look Angles Satellite Heading Calculator Azimuth Elevation Skew Tilt LNBF Latitude and Longitude values (http://www.sadoun.com/Sat/Installation/Satellite-Heading-Calculator.htm)

Go to menu, install, point dish and type your ZIP code.

ExpressVu boxes don't have that option...and with it being a Canadian DTH service, it would be postal codes so him being in the US wouldn't work anyways :)

thanks alot
