Silver Member Username: Crazy_greekPost Number: 852 Registered: Jul-06 | Hey Jan Let me say this, you Latitude=43.6N, Longitude=79.6W, Atlantic Bird 1 @ 12.5w, you must elevate your Dish to point 7.7 degree in order to see the satellite. I don't think so. There is only Six (6) TPs listest for North & South America, Five (5) of them are feeds. Check it out....http://www.lyng sat.com/abl.html |
