you can use that for any linear sat in the sky!!! the other settings are for you to set the longitude angle

use center of bolt. you can also go to http://www.dishpointer.com . type in your street address and select desired sat if you need any more coordinates. you may even find a sat with better channels.

My freind Kevin i'm here again after puting the dish with no luck on Signal.
i have a dish set for my Nfusion on 110 w 119w and set dish up for Band Ku for 101w so i can get RTPI Free FTA and put on 63.1 for the elevation and put in the Cative works the frequency 12032 and Sid 3004 i rotate the dish but i don't have no signal,i went to point dish.com and it seems that i have a red dot as an obstacle it says by the red dot
D=163and H=106.6ft, does this means i have a tree nearby?,i set the dish on the roof next to the dn 110w 119 and this is one dish two LNBS,it seems from the Arc 101w is the same distance between dn 110 119 should have signal if i set this dish just next to the dn 110w with the same space as 110 119? so unless i'm not putting the right full parameters on the receiver, this is what i'm putting in the CapiveWorks receiver for RTPI channel.
AMC4 101W frequency= 12032 ,polarisation Horz , symbol rate=3004,Fec Auto,network search =no search type All, i try to rotate to get any signal strength on this frequency and nothing, tell me please if i'm doing anything Wrong thanks in advance.

Thanks for your help i'll try that freq. i was all day on the roof but no avail
I'm at Providence Boston area and,i did correct the Freq. and Sid i only get around 48% SIGNAL with no quality,i also notice the Lnb bracket has engraved Lnb Skew 20 to the left and 20 to the right with increments of 5 but the dish pointer instructions for my area i need to set Skew to 29.2 degrees but the the bracket that holds the Lnb says 0nly 20 to left and 20 to the right. I don't know why i get not quality signal maybe this LNB is not good for Ku band AMC 4 101 degrees west? i also notice that my dn 119 110 setup just maybe 2 feet from where i set up this dish has the two LNBs one for 119w and 110w,what i notice is that in the ark for sats should be 110w on the left and 119 to the right two Lnbs on a single dish,but what i get is on dn is 119 to the left and 110 to the right side by side.That's confusing, anybody have any clues? i would appreciate all the help you can give me.
