Slimline 3 Tilt/skew

[gohard113]

Can anybody tell me what is the tilt/skew for the direct tv slimeline 3 dish? Also I'm on the east coast (PA) and would like to know which satellite I should be pointing to?

Might get better results in the Directv section. However, I think it is 99, 101, and 103 for the sat locations. Not sure on tilt skew at your location.

Go to http://dispointer.com, enter your address and from the drop down box select one of the multisat entries for DirecTV.
You should then be presented with the alignment parameters for your location.

You use the satellite setup menu on your receiver.

Its in the receiver satellite setup menu. Put in your zip code and select the type of Dish.

Good luck trying to get Directv customer service to give you this info.
