Hey Directv guys.
Can someone plug in my zip code and give me the settings for a 5 orbital location dish?

I can't power up a receiver right now and wanted to get the dish roughed in.
Thanks!

Man what luck!
I dialed in those numbers and eyeballed the Az. Hooked up the cables and I have 99 to 100% on most TPers. Wow that was lucky!
Who needs a stinkin meter! :D:D

What's with the 2 Azimuth readings? Which do you use?

One is true and the other is magnetic. They are only ballpark anyway.
Once you dial in the numbers you can control (elevation and Tilt/skew) then you sweep left or right to nail it. I got lucky and didn't have to sweep at all. Just pointed in the general direction and nailed it.
