Hey guys...if someone has a HD receiver that could put 76306 in for the zip code and give me the settings I need it would be greatly appreciated...I plan to get an HD receiver eventually but for now I was given a slimline dish by a friend who is moving overseas for his job and has no use for it :D . He did however want to keep the HD receivers for whenever he transfers back (in several years) :( so he would not have to purchase them again...Any help greatly appreciated.

http://www.dishpointer.com/ You have to tell it what kind of dish you have. The Multi-LNB dishes are listed

Tilt 85 degrees-elevation 50-Azimuth 180 for 76306 area code.

Max out readings on 101 and you might get lucky with the rest.:)
Thank you....it will be a week or so till I can try it. think I am going to need a different size mast (my setup is a pole inside a pole with one bolt completely through it to keep it from turning and a couple other ones clamping the inside pole (mast) to keep it from moving. The outer pole is very well cemented in the ground). Again thanks for the info....will try it when I can and report back...right now I only have a 3-sat receiver hooked to an original 18" round DTV dish :( but eventually I will have a HD one :)

Well thanks for all the info guys... I forgot the dish had a sleeve it was mounted on(piece of 2"od pipe)...I looked at it, measured its inside diameter then measured the OD of my pipe and figured out it would slip right over mine. Took Old dish off, slipped new dish with the sleeve onto my pole...noticed the sleeve had 3 holes in it...got drill drilled through those holes through my pole and put 3 sheetmetal screws in...loosened the mast turned the dish and adjusted everything properly...I am now enjoying signals in the mid to high 90s on the 101, 110, 119 satelites...cant check the other sats since I don't have HD receiver, but guessing they are at least on the money...just may need a little tweaking.

Again THANKS for the info guys...I really do appreciate it.
