[cish181]

I would like to turn my dish to 119 or 110 but am unsure of how to do so. Can anyone give me a helping hand please?

Thank you that was very informative!

Now one more question are all the degrees for everything marked on the dish or mast? Or do I have to do it the old fasioned way

Moving too the dishnet sat will require a physical repoint to either 110 or 119. Is there a channel listing to determine prior to moving the dish which one provides better channel selection. Have done a search on site and can't find a channel listing for either point.

Thanks

As for doing a search, viewsats will not find any channels unless the reciever locks onto the bird and it matches the listing. For example...

If you are looking for echostar 110w and have it aimed at 121w it will lock but the lock will not match the tag from what it is aimed at. Aslo DTV is in between and will lock but no id will be displayed, therefore no channels.

Okay so I moved the dish to Echostar 110.0, sat has locked on, I have downloaded the channels and still in autoroll. I am running the Sept 03 fix. Perhaps I have another setting I have to change... ??????

should autoroll within 15 mins. Dish does not always send out keys so it may take longer. And the sept. fix is a little old. We are in novebmber..

You were right.... just didn't give it enough time to kick in. It works now, and I mistyped it was the Nov 3/08 fix. Was moving the dish to find either 110 or 119. Found 110 with no problem. Could not find 119 anywhere. Swept the dish back and forth in the area as per the satellite angle calculator. Would prefer to be in 119 as there is alot of spanish on the 110 feed. One of the messages says that if you are too far north you may not recieve the feed. Is Winnipeg too far north???
