Here is a calculator http://www.kusat.com/install/calculator2.php You could use a compass as well. Also try and find a dish in the area that is pointing at bev and picture it on a clock in your head. The numbers on that you are watching, quality etc do not really mean anything until you have the signal. There is a beeper on your receiver that needs to be turned on in your fta menu. It will beep when you find the signal.. You might want to find a how to on it also. Every good sat forum has a how to. good luck |
