Setting Skew and Elevation on 1000.2 Dish EA dual lnb.

[CableDawg#1]

Hello,
I'm having a hell of a time trying to hit 72.7 and 61.5 on my dual lnb. Per the old chart for 315xx, 51El, 71 skew and 160 AZ. Dish pointer has the skew at a much higher degree: 52.5 El, 104 skew and 163 AZ. What do you experts think?
Thanks

Oh and per reviewing previous posts, others stated it didn't matter what dish setup was used on dishpointer since it doesn't list 1000.2 setup only 1000.4.

What are you using to point it with?

The indicated direction for the skew on DishPointer is key when setting up a multi-lnb. In your case you'd need to turn the dish counter-clockwise. On a multi-lnb dish it is assumed that when the dish is horizontal (not skewed) the setting on the mount reads 90°. So you would need to turn the dish by 14° degrees counter-clockwise (104-90=14) according to DishPointer, and by 19° according to the chart.
