Slightly off topic but related...I have an automatic Winegard Pathway 2 that is capable of picking up western or eastern arc. I have only used it twice. Both times I picked up the western arc by aiming roughly 220 deg. Roughly speaking, where would I aim the dish to pickup the eastern arc?
You don't aim a Pathway x2. When you place it outside you point the handle to the north, then the antenna finds which ever set of satellites you have selected during setup, eastern arc or western arc.
If you are trying to find the relative location of the eastern arc satellites then subtract 50 to 60 degrees from the western arc heading.
Sorry I should have worded the question differently, I'm used to manually aiming my dish. When I point my handle north and the dish locks on to the eastern arc what general direction will it find the satellites? Are they also in the south western sky?
They are along the Eastern Coast so you need a clear SE view.
