Dish 1000.2
After third try in trees last night I have low signal strength as follows (110W - 20; 119W – 24; 129W – 0) I do not have a smart phone – thus not their application. I am trying to shoot through hole ...

Yes - I understand and agree that 233 is where you point the dish. Question is what is the actual location of the 129W bird?
From my current location N33 27.164 W86 08.053:
110W is Elevation 43.4 Azimuth 218.8
119W is Elevation 37.6 Azimuth 229.5
and the 129W bird is where?
And where do you find that information?
I've never tried to aim each sat. I've used DISH's published numbers (1000.2 Install Guide (PDF)) with great success.
For your ZIP of 35160 that's 228 azimuth, 37 elevation, and 128 skew.
A couple of questions:
- Have you checked your tripod level?
- What are you using to point the dish? Compass?
- What are you using to measure signal strength?
