Can 82 scan in my area

[lilcap]

How can I find out if 82 is avaliable in the GA area?

[jc7257]

It is viewable in Ga, because it is viewed in N.Florida...

I'm having the hardest time getting it. I can get 91 no matter where I place the dish but not 82. Depending on how I orintate the dish, the birdog will lock on 82 but the receiver will either show 72.7 or 91 with I try to configure 82.

I've used different pointing calculators with different skews & elevation for my area. One to calculator gave me a skew of -3.5 but I don't know how to postion a negative number on the back of the dp500. I tried it with a quad lnb & a single lnf.

make sure your tp listing is right.it should look like this 12457v21500.they have the sr set at 21500 tb 8psk2/3

Skew of -3.5 will actually be 86.5 on the opposite side. Looking at the dish from front Anti-clockwise.

In my opinion you will need a Dish of 30" dia or greater to pick up 82 for your area.

Thanks, that was my next questions if a bigger dish was needed. I've tried using the dp500 & the 1000.2 dish. Both picks up 91 just fine but neither gets 82.

Antenna setting page you can high lite tp and change them manually when you scroll left or right with your control try the tp above in RF post to find 82.
