sat 129

ok a 36" dish pointing to 129 can someone tell me the elevation it's 28.59 for a 18" dish and I can't find a site that shows it for a 36" zip is 33321 thank you

ok I am back asking again . I can pick up 129 very easy with a 18" dish at elevation 28.59 but it drops the signal sometimes . someone said that 129 has a wobble that's why it does that . and try a bigger dish . so I have been trying with a 36". but can't get a signal .I tryed the same elevation but nothing it say's LMB skew 56.8 . I don't know were that would be . can someone help me with this please

I'm no expert about 36" dishes but since it's larger one doesn't have to be as exact with aiming (you're picking up more of the signal, it's being amplified compared to the 18 even though you could be marginally off).

Have you tried this new antenna with the other birds to ensure that it's functional??

[willham]

well what I think it might be is the skew of the LMB I don't know how far to turn it were is 56.8 and what way to I turn it left or right

Oh Geez, can't begin to describe the Nightmare I had installing a legacy Dish 500 dual twin LNB antenna! :-)

I gave up and running an 18" for 119, enough is enough!

Skew is as you look at the antenna left or right and there should be a marked area on the side to let you know.

Zero is No Skew so check the markings on the side, 90/0 degrees is straight up, so you're looking at a quarter turn.........thing is if it's a multi scenario have to Lock in the basic stuff first (110/119).

It's still warm most everywhere and take advantage of that, or get a sat. installer to do it for you.........it's the best $50 you ever spent! ;-)

thank you but this is the LMB skew not the dish . you can move the LMB to get that skew im trying to get 56.8
