5lnb/Slimline aiming request

[BeauB]

Can someone please send me the aiming info (azimuth, etc) for zip code 30309 for the 5 lnb dish? I have one coming today that I am going to replace my existing dish with, but I don't have an HR20 yet.

Thanks!

Is there a web site to get this info from?

Probably.....i just put your zip in my receiver and relayed the info. I've never had to find a web site for that info. I'm sure someone will pop one up shortly. I'll chck D*'s real quick.

No web site (at least not yet). You have to use an HR20, an H20, or an H21 receiver to get the 5-LNB coordintes. The HR20 makes you go back through satellite acquisition if you do that, so it is a real pain. The H20 and H21 let you get the coordinates for a different zip code fairly easily.

Well.... that was quick. Thanks Carl.

I am highly embarrassed and should be ashamed of myself. :nono2: :(

My apologies to the OP. I gave him bad info. I gave him info from a 3-LNB setup from work. I'm now at home w/ the 5-LNB and it is certainly different. I knew it would be....just had a major brain cramp.

Here are the 5-LNB from an H21.

Thanks so much! Still waiting on UPS to drop the dish off, but hoping to get it set up tonight.

Cool..... I'm glad you saw this before you started.

Sorry Dude. :)

As the slimline is centered on the 101, you can also use your basic reciever for the info. Of course that will give you everything but tilt.

So, dial in the 101.
Adjust tilt until peaked on 119.
Fine tune per instructions.
Enjoy HD.

Yes, go here and select 101 degrees for the satellite.
