slimline dish settings

Is there a place where one could plug in their latitude and longitude coordinates to get the corresponding skew. Thanks

Your reciever plus the zip should do it.

I see a Canada address so no zip code.

Boba,

That is correct. I'm in the great northern state of Alberta

Are you telling me that the new directv receiver, you can only input your zip and not lattitude, longitude to get skew?
I am able to get high 80's on 101 with the slimline but without a skew its going to be a lot of trial and error to get other sats.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

AFAIK, the only way is by using a zip code. The receiver is intended for use in the US, after all.

There is a place to enter your latitude and longitude coordinates on the HR20. I can see no other reason to have that capability other than to give you the dish settings.
