Thanks for the tip RandallA. I'll try this again tomrow as it is getting dark out. I was able to get 119 but with only like 57% strength and 110 was not coming in at all. I think the base shifted and the Azimuth is off now.

im located in zip 46324 Thanks!

Ohh wait I was looking at the wrong setttings I didnt do a search for the combo so I did which gave me these results. Elevation: 32.3° Azimuth (true): 222.7° Azimuth (magn.): 226.3° LNB Skew [?]: 30.5° Dish Skew [?]: 120.5° But the question still stands my elevation does not go lower...

Well I understand that if I update through Dish I will get free install etc BUT i want to avoid having a commitment. I had already called them to see what they can do for me and I would have to lease an HD receiver and commit to a 2 year contract. Call me weird or crazy but I really don't want...

If this has been answered before please refer me to the thread, but I could not find my situation in the search results. I currently have 3 standard def 311 receivers but I finally got an HD tv set for my room. So I want to upgrade. First if I do this myself what equipment will I need...
