satellite positions locking in on 119 nothings else so far

[DishInstallAdam]

first of all, zip code 52144, 211K with 1000.2. I have marked where I get a good signal on 119, but can't get 110, & 129 to lock in to there respective satellites. I currently have 209, 35 elevation 112 skew. how much do I move the dish to acquire all 3.

 

[Mr Tony]

did you run a check switch?

 

[Mr Tony]

per dishpointer I get
33 elevation
217 azimuth
116 skew

so you might be getting the 119 sat on the 129 LNB so move a smidge west and down

This is what I show from Satellite Finder / Dish Pointing Calculator with Google Maps | DishPointer.com for zip 52144, and a 1000.2 dish

Elevation: 33.3°
Azimuth (true): 216.7°
Azimuth (magn.): 217.0°
Dish Skew [?]: 115.9°

Should I be using a 1000 instead of a 500? I personally have a 500 @ home and have all sat. locked in.

You can keep the "Speedy" nickname. We'll just start calling Ice "Slick".

I kill me.

you can keep it

"Speedy" Gonzales sounds SOOOOOOO much better than "Speedy" Iceberg. That just sounds wrong

Cover the outside 2 lnb's with aluminum foil to make sure you are receiveing 119 with the center lnb.

After that you should be able to hone in on the outer two satellites.
