I am getting to move my slimline dish from the roof to the a pole mount on the ground because it will be eaier to clear the snow and ice in the winter.

I bought a new slimline dish to mount on the pole and when I look at the receiver and dishponter.com it states the elavation for my zip code(15626) should be 38 degrees.

However, when I climb on the roof to check the original dish, the elevation is set for 22 degrees on a plumb mast. All signals are in the low 90's.

I would understand a few degrees, but why is there such a discrepancy between the two elevations?

Thanks in advance,

DocBM

The Slimline dish's elevation "zero" can be changed if the adjustment screw isn't centered.

And who says the roof mount is 100% level. They're lined up on elevation settings that work, not what the book or receiver says it should be when absolutely level.
