Hey guys... I want to hit those two satellites with a dish 500. I have found threads through google that tell me it's possible, but nothing on how to figure out skew, elevation, etc... Anyone that has done this with any ideas to share?

I am really searching for how to calculate the skew and dishpointer won't tell me how to calculate skew to aim a dish 500 at those two satellites... Unless I am missing something. If I am, please tell me.
You did'nt search to hard...go to this link and read all posts. You will find the calculator and results from what others have done

No, this was my blunder; sorry about that! I should have double checked my link first. But you are right. The best you can do with Satellite Finder / Dish Pointing Calculator with Google Maps | DishPointer.com is to duplicate the numbers for a 1000.4. What I was thinking of was actually this: Satellite look-angle calculator where you can enter a dual-sat setup and it takes an average for you.
