Hi everyone.

I am confused as how i would point the 101 LNB on a DTV 3 LNB (third one if looking from behind dish) to 110 or 119 for Dish Network.

As i understand these can be used for Dish but only 1 LNB is truly usable (the 101).

Could someone more knowledgeable help me understand how i can only make use of only the LNB to the right?

Is there a reason for skew settings since i will only be using 1 LNB out of the 3?

I apologize in advance if it is a dumb question.

Thank you!

I can't think of a scientific way to approach it, but in 2005 I simply held the dish in my hand and could pick up 82W. The circular birds are so powerful, that mounting the dish on a pole , and getting close to the right elevation/skew will probably give you a signal pretty quickly. Then you can decide which bird you're looking at, and compensate your aim. Probably aiming the center lnbf at 119W will get you in the ballpark.

There isnt much on the circular satellites that are FTA....but for fun skew the dish back to 90 so all 2 LNB's look horizontal in a row. Use the right LNB (if you're looking at the LNB's from behind the dish) and aim from there with the elevation info from dishpointer or thelist
