sonicview receivers sometimes identify nimiq 1 91W as a galaxy satellite, this is nothing to worry about.....
do a default on your receiver.....
go into antenna settings for 82W.....enter in all the proper settings and select the motor options.....select USALS and enter in your lat and long.....tell the motor to drive to 82W.....
now go outside to aim your dish/motor at 82W.....when adjusting horizontally you move the entire motor/dish assembly.....when you adjust vertically you move the dish only, not the motor!!
when you have 82W peaked, you should be on the belt.....verify this by trying to find a satellite at each end of the arc.....such as 61.5W for the east and 129W for the west......
what kind of LNB are you using??

I use the Invacon...but, I had already done all of that....had to do it the first time. I just guess I am missing them by a hair...but, I appreciate the quick response. I guess it doesn't help to try and set it up again while standing out in the blistering heat...about 98 degrees! LOL. But, thanks.
