    DirecTV Alignment problems

    Here's a follow up. I have been able to get my hands on the same type of dish setup but at another location for the same customer.

    DirecTV Alignment problems

    I have aligned a DTV dish for a guy and it seems to work fine. I just can't get past one little thing. He had a 3LNB setup that was set for 40 degrees elevation and 70 degrees skew (of which, is what it is suppose to be in this area). I put up the new 5LNB dish and able to get it dialed in fine...
