If you go to the dishpointer website and punch in your longitude and latitude it will tell you the proper skew for whatever satellite is in question. Luckily I don't have that problem. I am able to reach my lnb ok standing on my 13 in 1 ladder and having long arms helps out a lot lol.

Just set the dish at it's due South position and observe what part of the reflector is at the very top, perhaps one of the panel seams for reference. Then move the dish back down where you can reach it. Position the LNB so that the vertical probe is pointed at the due South reference you made. Done. This will give you the best "middle of the road" setting for all sats in the arc.

Hello Gents
Here is this update, I installed the hook and Ortho feed to the dish and so far I have scan, 116.8W, 113.0W, 107.3W, 105.0W, 103.0W, 101.0W, 99.2W AND 97.0W so far it's looking good.
I want to make sure I am in the ARC before I start to make adjustments to the Ortho feed for ultimate signal.
I thank you all for your comments and suggestions.
Best Regards.
Chewie.
