dish pointing

[tnp12]

I know, I should search first but this dial up is painfully slow and I can get my answers easier this way.
I have never had to point to a sat that I didnt know where it was but that day has come. I have a dish idle until bev is back so I was looking at different sats and found a few channels I might watch on amc1 but I need to know, is the azimuth the sameas the #s on a compass (ex. 90 is east, 180 south and so on). also will the same lnb work for it as bev or DN?
thanks guys, talk to ya later.

i feel ya on that dial up...had it for years...
the lnb's are different for b3v&charles compared to amc1.

See lyngsat for AMC1 at 103
Except Pentagon Channel, all FTA programing is with C-band.
You would need a BUD to get them.
