I have a DirecTV slimline 36" oval dish with a sl3 swm lnb and power supply. I had old dish damaged in storm and it was a little smaller oval. I also have an h24-200 receiver. Is this equipment all compatible? I tried everything and I can't get a signal and it is unobstructed. Any help would be appreciated

to Satelliteguys carnagez28!4ft. cable from receiver to swm power supply, 50ft. cable to slimline dish with 3lnb swm, can't seem to line up 220° because of the tilt
Also, is he using the red mark on the Skew adjustment or the end of the adjustment setting ?

I also tried satfinder on my phone. It throws you off a little with the arm tilted, but I've tried everything
You are trying to point at something the size of a bus that's 22,000 miles away, have patience! 
Again, how did you set the tilt/skew? And did you use the red line as Jimbo suggested for the elevation?

I made sure the mast was perfectly plumb with the little circle level , then I set the tilt at the number it calls fwhich it calls for on the TV in my area, on satfindermy elev. is30. 0, my az is57. 3 and tilt is 0.0, which is totally different than on the TV setup. There the tilt is 60, the el is37. 1 and azim is221.5
The tilt is most definitely not zero. You would have to be approximately due north of Amarillo TX. The second set of numbers seem about right.
This is what I found for a general Pittsburgh area.

LNB Skew [?]: 22.8°
Carnagez, your SKEW should go to 77.
This should fix your trouble.

The settings I need is for area code 16351, Tidioute , Pa. I have a camp and bring my receiver with me when I go up there.
Your settings should be Very close to the same ... so much so that if you set everything up in Pittsburgh, I would not change anything and try it there.
Heres the actual ones for 16351

As you can see, they are very close.
I am curious why the skew should go to 77 if it says 22.8 ?This is what I found for a general Pittsburgh area.
