This is a long shot, but does anyone in here know anyone that aligns Dishes in Kingston, Ontario? I have an Elliptical with 3 lnb and I'm tryin to get 91/110/119. I've tried and can't seem to find any signal..

ThaDraGun use this tool for that:

http://satcalculator.freehostia.com/

Choose your SuperDish 105 and select your city

You start to adjusted the skew first
and the elevation
after Azimuth.
If you use Google Map dont point on your
house

you can buy a cheap satellite finder for help you
Good Luck

I tried using the sat calculator and didnt help me. How do I do Azimuth..with a compass or something?

After that didnt work I just started moving it around to see if it would pick anything up. I can actually see my tv from the dish so I just move until I see a change. Got nothing from that.. and eventually gave up.

I hope You aligned on 110w, because this sat is in center and use the center LNB

when you are in front of dish the order of LNB is 91W-110-119

Yup, 110 is in the middle, it has to be aligned first... then you turn and adjust to get the other satellites.

I found someone here that says they do it for $50. I might do that. We'll see how it goes

I don't know what kind of dish yo got
But I don't think yo can get 2-DN and 1-BEV with any dish in the market that easy

If this is DTV phaseIII the most you'll get is 110 and 91 that's about it
Again if this is a DTV dish
Middle LNB will be usless
Only way to point middle LNB to 101
Aligning two side LNBs to 91 and 110
Only way to get 1-DN and 1-BEV

If yo are an expert installer
Yo might be able to add an extra Universal LNB and get 4 sats with that dish
91/110/118/119
I would use http://satcalculator.freehostia.com
Select multiple sats: 91/110
To get exat skew, elevation, azmith

king again yo post and prove how little yo actually know. The following setup will work:

1 - 18" x 24" Eliptical Dish
4 - Dual LNB's
1 - 5 port LNB Mount/Yoke
1 - Disc Switch (4 in /1 Out)

Arrange and mount the LNB's on the pre-engineered 5 point Yoke, so that the 101W LNB area is not populated (i.e., is empty) then mount the 4 LNB's, in their respective places. You'll be able to scan 91W, 82W, 110W and 119W without having to move the dish at all (no motor).

Once you lock onto 91W the others are automatically 99% there.

Well Mr. Soprano, a real person not a paid celeberty

Yo are advising a member to use 24" dish
4 LNBs and 5 port mount
I can see yo never tried it
Well yo think about it

Picking a signal from around South to South West with a 24" dish only under 45 degrees WOOOOOOOOO
TEACH MAN I can use all the help I can get
This is the most impressive advice dude
