Re: Changing from DN to B3V Part II

I have a NOVA, and my screens look nothing like what you posted. I moved my dish elevation down a smidgen, and I'm getting 82 on signal. I factory defaulted, ran a software update from the internet/software update. Set the attenna to 91w nimiq with Diseq at port 2. I moved the dish all the way down to 40 elevation, and the signal dropped to 8. Moved it back up around 47.5 and it's back up in the 80's, so how can I not be picking up the right bird?
I have a Dish 500 on the wall. There don't appear to be any markings on the thing for azimuth, just elevation and skew (which is says I don't need to touch). So what do I do??? Zip code 89131
I go to scan the channels, and it picks up nothing. NEED HELP!

According to dishpointer, when I was on 110/119 my elevation should have been 47.5. My dish was set closer to 49.5.
