finally got my things setup
cw-600s premium
DiseqC switch
dish500 & dp twins lnb

locked on to EchoStar 6/8 110*
got around 80% sig.quality

got 142 channels... some are duplicate...
i'm wondering how come i have 'CNN espanol' and not regular 'CNN' in english...???

how do i get echostar 110* with echostar 119* together?? do i just screw the dish a little?? or do i have to elevation it a little more?? or both??

How did you scan 110?

DP Twin doesn't need an external switch.. only one cable from either output connector down to receiver...

119 on DiseqC 1, 110 on 2...

Use this sat calculator to align that dish

Preset EL and SKEW.. then work with AZ.... you may have to tweak EL a touch...

i just pointed the dish the same direction as the neigbors until it locked on to a satellite...
i figure 119 is next to the 110.. as long as i find one the other one is close..
i'll try to EL it a little since 119 is a little higher and see if i find it... i'm not really sure what AZ is...

also does it matter if i have 119 on DiseqC 1 and 110 on 2?????
