can some check to make sure I am getting the right numbers I mean skew,elevation and azimuth. zip code is 04942 thank you

receiver model DP-301 Iceberg thanks for getting my questions back on track.

what does this have to do with my questions???????

why not, what does the location have to do with it? I pay my bill,whether its in Maine or Florida, what is the problem? I will only be using the dish in Maine the most 3 weeks out of the year. The receiver stays 95% of the time at my home in Ct. bring it to my camp when needed. I spoke with...

its an olde for sure, numbers are BS1D1UP201M Lot # E16 that is all I could find for number on the LNBF. Seeing how I want to install this thing this weekend, only place I can find a meter now is at Radio Shack and they want $40.00 for it, but they do have a return policy;):D

I was thinking of buying a in line satellite finder (meter) to find the strongest signal, are they worth it? I assume it should speed up the time of fine tuning the satellites in.

answered one of my questions already, I don't have to worry about what channel to hook the cable to, or worry about any switches to switch thanks guys.
