    Dish 1000.2 trouble

    The elevation on DishPointer is pretty accurate - it's based on sound formulas.

    Why is the tilt on a 5-LNB Dish different?

    Many people asked me to add multi-lnb support to my site DishPointer.com » Satellite Dish Pointer / Alignment Calculator with Google Maps. So I started looking into it and saw that the DirecTV dish skews provided by the receivers don't follow the conventional theory - the question is just why...

    Why is the tilt on a 5-LNB Dish different?

    Done some drawings to show the problem for two different zip codes: The green line is the tilt the receiver gives for the zip code (can someone verify, please?). The red line is the tilt I think it should be. As you can see, for the 3 LNB and the 5 LNB, the tilt is almost the same. That...

    Why is the tilt on a 5-LNB Dish different?

    Hi Does anyone know why the tilt on a 5-LNB dish is different than the one on a 3-LNB dish? Looking at the satellite range (99-119) and (101-119) the tilt HAS to be roughly the same, or am I missing something? The fact that the 5-LNB centers on the 101 and the 3-LNB centers on the 110 shouldn't...

    Satellite Dish Pointing with Google Maps

    I'm scratching my head on this - I have really no idea why that would be. Does this example work for you?: Google Maps API Example - Geocoding API That would be now interesting to find out.

    Satellite Dish Pointing with Google Maps

    Scott, just removed the signatures but then had a second idea - I'll just remove all the google ads. Now there is more space for the map. I guess it's fine now to put back the signature with a link to DishPointer.com - Easy Satellite Dish Pointing

    Dish Pointing with Google Maps

    Thank you, this is a great board - can't believe I've never came across it (probably due to the fact that I'm living across the ocean). Great to get all these positive feedbacks on the google maps calculator - much appreciated. I guess it's a very fine line between spam and making people aware...

    Satellite Dish Pointing with Google Maps

    That's my blog but since it's a UK blog and the calculator is a global and unique tool, I decided to put the calculator on a separate site. But thanks for noticing and pointing it out. You are right that the azimuth and the blue line are based on True North but that's what's needed for drawing...

    118.75 is missing because it's not listed here. Do I need to put that in, what's on it?

    Satellite Dish Pointing with Google Maps

    keep it simple, put postcode or streetname with house number and city and country in. Alternatively, put geocodes in. I guess you are putting some sort of string in which it doesn't recognize, e.g. abbrev. of a city or or a misspelling of the street/cityname.
