Hello I have an I links 9500 HD Receiver that I bought and I also got with it an elliptical dish 18X24 Ariza satellite with 3 LNB's when I search for the satellite pointing it show's that this should be my on the following setting to receive signals from Echostar 10,11 as well as 119...
Latitude: 56.2465A°
Longitude: -120.8288A°

Name: 110W DIRECTV 5 (TEMPO 1) | ECHOSTAR 10 | ECHOSTAR 11
Distance: 39053km

Elevation: 25.2A°
Azimuth (true): 167.0A°
Azimuth (magn.): 147.7A°
LNB Skew [?]: -7.2A°
Turn counter-clockwise standing behind the dish
I tried this but nothing works whatever I do the freaking satellite dish won't pick up the signals and I even have a digital satellite finder as well as dishpointer pro on my android phone etc but nothing seems to get the signals do any of you think that the dish is too small or its not for the FTA receivers or the dish Skew? as it says that I should have it on -7.2 which I did the math 90-7.2=80.2 skew am right? any advise would really be appreciated thanks in advance.

The three LNBs. What LNBs do you have - dish or special Direct TV?

JanierNorthernCanada: The picture you are showing is of one 24" Elliptical Dish with two dual LNBs for 110W (Echo 10,11) and 119W (Echo 14).
You should point to Echo 14 and install that. The 110W (Echo 10,11) will come automatically. The type of LNBs you have appear to be simple generic ones, and they are OK for 110 and 119W
If you are off, you will be pointing to 101 (NOT OK for Dish) and 110 LNB will be getting the 119. You will then swing 9 degrees to get to 110 and 119W.
I think most of your problems are from pointing to 101W and 110W instead of 110W and 119W - a very common mistake.

I don't know what and where your third LNB is and why you mentioned in your original post,

mistake above "110 LNB will be getting the 119"

It should read "119 LNB will be getting the 110"
The 110 LNB will be pointing to 101

U can ONLY subscribe to whatever satellite service company is available in your area and country etc...which U failed to mention...so nobody can answer such a vague post as yours, but this is a ROUGH enlightenment.....and don't worry about anything such as a clear line of sight or tall building, cuz whoever U subscribe to usually will do a free site check and then a free installation, so if your location has a problem they will cancel your install and subscription at no cost to you..
