How do I find the dish skew, elevation etc.. for my location

[freshmeat]

I live in Montana, zip code 59327. I have dish network and I dont know if I use the 110 satellite or 119. I try to look it up on the internet but not sure which one to use.

Please observe the tabs near the top of this page. One is marked "Dishpointer.com". Click on that and all will become clear.

BTW - You will almost certainly need a Dish 500 with twin LNB for both 110 and 119.

The "Point Dish" screen on the receiver will tell you. Menu-6-1-1, enter zip, select Dish 500 and Satellite 110 or 119.

Thanks, I did see if before posting but I wasnt sure how to use it. I do have the 500 plus lnb, inside the lnb there are two hookups, which one should I hook it to or does it matter. Thanks

Both give the same angles, doesn't mater. And you hook up to either output.
