Coordinates

[cpgny9]

I was hoping that someone would help me out and find out my coordinates for me. I have a dual lnb dish (pointing at the 101 satellite only) and want to see if i have a clear view to set up a 3lnb dish. I have tried many pointing calculators, but none seem to give the skew, only azymuth and elevation. This info would be greatly appreciated.

My zip is 07047, but the coordinates for New York, NY would work just fine (I live on the Jersey side of the Hudson)


Thanks!

Go to your set up screen on your receiver and it should give you your coordinates when you select 3LNB.

I dont have the receiver yet, thats my problem. I wanna make sure that I can get a clear line of sight (gonna be real tight) before i buy anything

http://www.skycasters.com/lookangle/ The skew is not needed to determine if you can see the satellites. Skew refers to the tilt of the dish. Exact tilt is needed so that each LNB lines up aimed at each of the satellites. Simply use the azimuth and elevation for all of the satellites that you'll need and use a compass and inclinometer to check for an unobstructed path to the satellites. Remember to account for magnetic declination.

the site Tower Guy gave is just for some G11, G4, SM5, AMC6, AMC9, Telstar14, Horizon1, and IA8. or atleast it did for me.

You can use G4 which is at 99 and right beside DTV 101 for a very close elevation and AZ, and Satmex5 at 117 which is right beside DTV 119 for that view. If you have a clear view with them and nothing in the middle of the 2 you will be ok.

also you can go here and download this software and try it, but be aware it has been wrong in the past.
