What direction should I point my dish to expressvu satellite from Portland Oregon?

[man9]

Hi,
I brought my bell expressvu receiver with me to Portland, Oregon and I got a Direct TV dish as well as the two dish signal receivers (don't know how to call them, they attach to the dish). I just want to know can someone tell me the steps on how to setup the dish pointing to the right direction and how can I verify if I receive signal from the satellite?

Thanks for the help!

Do a google for the lattitude and longitude for Portland. Sounds as though you are using an eliptical dish so you would use calculator 2. Then plug those numbers into here

Install your System Locating Satellites Antenna Look Angles @ Kusat.com

good luck

if you just want 91, put that in the satellite...otherwise use 86.5 if you have the 2 LNB model for both satellites

i can't find Portland, OR from the weblink that you guys provided. Can you guys give me more suggestions on how I can point my dish (circular) with 2 LNBs in order to receive the Canadian signal?

Thanks.

on the link I provided, you can scroll down and put in your city & state and it will tell you your latitude/longitude to input.

Here's another site I found. Follow prompts

Just input what is needed. Country, state then city. A drop down will show zips in that city. Click the select after the zip, then the full satellite list in the new window. Click the one you want and info will show.
