Thanks For the fast response. So this lnb picks up the 101°, 110°, 119, 99°, 103° satellites right? How dopeak it with the super sat buddy? Do you plug it in any port and just peak it?

I dont use a SAT meter simply use a compass and the receiver's built-in meters. Hit 94+ strength nearly every time in 10 mins or less. I am an end-user and dont setup more than 4 or 5 a year, but it works A-OK.

Here is the operation manual for that unit I think: http://www.appliedin.com/signallevelmeters/superbuddyop.pdf

Check dishpointer.com for alignment parameters. Select the DirecTV 5LNB from the drop down menu and enter you address.

These parameters will point at the 101 sat. Make sure the mast is plumb and the tilt/skew and elevation settings are correct. Then adjust the azimuth until you see a signal for the 101 sat. This will get you close so that you can then do the dithering method for fine tuning the aim.
