What kind of dish you planning to use ?

I have a software for the dish 500 it will show you the skilt and elevation with your zipcode.

If you need it or some else pm with your email .


Good luck !

I have my 18' directv dish pointed at directv. Do I need to move it or can I watch my pansat at that satellite?

You cannot get DTV with your pansat. To get the 110 sat from where its pointed now, stand behing the dish and move it to the right about 3/4" then move it about 1/2' up or down(cant remember which cause its been awhile) until you get a signal. That should be the 110 sat. For 119 move it to the right again about 3/4" and then up or down. The 119 sat should be around there. Just make sure you make some marks on your dish before you start to move it in case you mess up you can go back to the DTV spot to try it again. This is for the upper Midwest so it may be a little different for you depending on where you live.

I live in Indiana. The pansat came last night. Now all I have to do is set it up.

I have the pansat set up and the dish level says 29% and quality is 0. I am trying to get sat 110. I have pointed the dish all over and it nevers changes? I found my coordinates, but it still does not change. Any advice would really be appreciated.

yes I did. The only problem I am having is figuring out what is on and when. I do not even know what half the channels are? Is there a good guide of the channel list anywhere on the net for echo 6,8? Thanks

Also..to find out what is on you can make up your own tv guide at titantv.com. You cannot get the program guide to come up on the pansat.
