Hi all,

I've currently got a triple lnb dish (very strong signal on 3 sats I might add) mounted on a rugged pole using an adapter which is roughly 7' above the ground and also 2-3' below the ground in cement. What I'm going to do is take off the triple lnb dish & adapter and then I'll completely fill the 2-3/8" OD pipe with cement while sticking in at the top a 30" piece of pipe that is 2" OD with enough sticking out to mount the Slimline dish and after it is plumbed up and let dry, then I'll attach the new Slimline 5 lnb dish I bought. If I can do this myself which I'm pretty sure I can since I've done a lot my own prep work before I'll then have a local sat installer simply fine tune the install with his Birdog USB meter.

Currently I don't have my HR-20 here in my hands yet but I should have it within a week or two so what I was wondering is can anyone give me the Elevation, Tilt, Azimuth for zip code 04478 for the 5 lnb Slimline dish?

Also is there a web site that can spit out coordinates simply using a zip code? I know about DirecTV's site but that is not for the 5 lnb dish.

Many thanks in advance!

Here, this one can be site specific.

I don't see an option on dishpointer for the 5-LNB either. You can use the azimuth for 101, but elevation and tilt are unique to the 5-LNB dish and I have yet to see a web site that let's you obtain those.

How about this one instead? Will this work?

Thanks all for the great replies, the coordinates were dead on and I like the dish pointer site a lot! :)
