Down here in Yuma, AZ waiting for the 18th for my Voom install. Presently using Dish. Might have line of site (LOS) problem due to trees. According to Dish web site under Products & zipcodes ref the Yuma zipcode (85364), indicate to receive the 61.5 satellite I would have to point to a AZ-170, EL-51 & SK-92. Now, my dish setup menu after entering the zipcode indicates AZ-101, EL-23 & SK-NA. This could spell no LOS of sight for me if the Dish web site is correct. I can squeeze thru for the latter. Which reference is the more trustworthy? Any input would be appreciated.

Dish 500-4 receivers (811, 508, 5000)
Main TV-Sony-KV34XBR910
Onkyo Receiver
Sony DVD
Infinity Speakers
X-box
 
According to this site , Yuma is at 32.76 Latitude and 113.89 Longitude. 61.5 dish put it at
22.9 elevation
112.6 azimuth (subract 14 from this to get magnetic north)
skew would be 0
 

"Belle Vue" vs Dish equipment

Using satellite antenna as a cell phone antenna?
