Shaw Direct Satellite settings in the USA

dishpointer.com for co-ordinates.

digitalhome.ca is a good resource for more detailed questions.

You're looking for the satellite Wildblue at Lat 111.1

With dishpointer.com you can zoom right in to your site and see exactly which direction to point and all you need to do is get the elevation set. I use it when I am not sure where south is - IE. arriving at night.

Just for the record, there is no Lattitude greater than 90 degrees. I believe the poster meant Longitude 111.1. ;)

Besides, it's 111 AND 107.

What do you mean by "Wildblue"? I've never heard that term before.

Tough crowd

Anik-2 Wildblue, look it up.

This should be what you are looking for Wayne.

OK I looked it up. Wildblue is a two-way satellite internet service that shares bandwidth with ONE of the Shaw Direct birds. NOT what the OP asked about. He need to point at TWO birds.

Thanks for the info. The problem I'm having now is how to calculate the skewer.
I have an email to the satellite dish pointer people, I can't seem to figure that one out, unless someone has that answer for me. Anik-2 and Wildblue are virtually the same satellite for Shaw Direct.
Thanks,
Wayne
