Direct TV in Mexico

[acadoug]

Does anyone know the Direct TV dish aiming coordinates for Acapulco, Mexico.
I am returning to Acapulco shortly where I have a DirectTV dish. I will bring my box with me in an effort to receive the service there.
The Acapulco world coordinates are 16-51N by 99-56W.
I spoke with a DirectTV tech person, but she was unable to give me the exact satellite azimuth and elevation values. Using the Acapulco zip code of 39390 in the Direct TV set-up window, gives me an azimuth of 202 True and 50 elevation.
I tried to Sattelliteguys Az-El calculator, but I do not know which DirectTV satellite to use.
Any help sure would be appreciated.
Thanks, Doug

acadoug,

This sounds reasonable.

The farther south you go the higher your elevation will be.

Judging by those co-ords that is for single sat location dish, so also assuming you are looking for the main/core programming, that would still be the bird at 101w. Plug your info into the receiver and you shoul dhave a step-by-step OSG to aid in setup.
