Try this :
Satellite: 101W DIRECTV 4S | DIRECTV 9S | SES 1
Elevation: 42.5°
Azimuth (true): 213.4°
Azimuth (magn.): 221.8°

From Dishpointer dot com
Look for the 101 Sat

That only gives you the 101 satellite without the skew setting to get the others. Go here and input your information:

what type of dish are you trying to aim

He mentioned a Slimline in the post, I presumed thats what he was pointing.

Skew should be 27.8

there are two "favors" of that dish and depending which one you are pointing determines the window needed to get the sats.

No clue what your talking about ...

Fwiw, I've set up plenty Slimlines all the way down to the single lnb set up back in the day.

He should be pointing at the 101 Sat.

 

[raoul5788]

He meant flavors, as in an sl3 or sl5 lnb.

Ahhh, yes, your right.

Right, thanks. Damn spell checker,..

He can always go into the dish pointing screen and put in his zip and it will give him the skew, az and el for his location. He just has to select the right dish type in the pointing screen.
