Skew...

[gadget255]

Please excuse my ignorant about skew. I thought I understood about setting but apparently I don't. I have downloaded a software from dish network to help locate and setup my dish. All I have to do is enter my zip code and select the bird ie. 61.5, 110,129 and 148 then put a check mark by the switch and it would tell you what the setting should be. according to this software my AZ 228, el 39 and sk 126.

I have also used satfinder software me setup my dish. This software telling differently as far as the setting go.

EchoStar 6 110.0W 220.5 225.0 42.0 32.6

Here is what I am trying to understand about skewing. MY superdish121 type1 started out with skew 30.0 at the top and ended 150. If I were to set my skew at 32.6 it would really look weir and I am not able to pick anything. If added 32.6 +90=122.6 I would receive signal and it look normal like other people who have dish pro. bottom line I need Help! I am only able to pick up some to the tp but not all.... I am still would like to get Cartoon network. Help me Please!!!!!

which bird are you want to catch?

according to my understand most ppl who have superdish want 110,119,and 121...

not 61.5 and 148

so...for you is try to aim the right center 121 first with your superdish big LNBF.......119 and 110 should come in right away if you have your skew correct...

I am able to cat all three birds but I just not ble to receiver all the TPs like I should. Some of the TP I could not get all of the channel like I should. For example... Bird 119,TP#16 I am able to receive USA network, HGTV,E! TCM, MTV, Spike, Nickeldeon, CNN Headline New but I am not getting Cartoon Network or ABC Family. The same thing happen with 110 and 121. All three birds received pretty good signals 88% - 99% quality signal... I just thought it might have something to do with my skew or somthing els....
