Thanks rhochnadel. Do you know what screen I start with to go to the Az. and Elev? I'm a novice at this stuff.Bill
I never needed that information for my SD dish. Just pointed in the same direction as anyone around me or towards the SE. Then move left and swing back south (western states) until the $25 meter found a bird. Then dialed in the bird and checked via radio with DW to see if it was a DTV bird.
