If you can lay your hands on or borrow a Birddog meter, that might be a good way to go. They are too expensive for the casual installer, but what a good meter.

i got strong signal on 101,119,110 what is the regular sats but i call the guy who sell me the dish and he told me i must find 103 and 99 also,is funny cuz i have only 3 lnb's on the dish and he said it works ,i gonna try on the weekend and trust me CG i'm really good picking up the sats,my second name is sat finder lol.

Does the 99 and and the 101 share the same LNB?, Kind of like the wierd *choice LNB's did, given they are only a few degrees apart?

i think so also he said as soon i catch 99 and 103 i should catch the rest,is gonna be a nice game,i will let u know the result

Rember also Ed, the Ka band satellites (99,103) are not high powered satellites. So you may get different results if its cloudy or rainy. Might want to do it on a clear day for best results. If you are using the 3-lnb array from the slimline, on a normal dish the focal length is the same, but the mounting hole is off a bit.
