Pointing Dish 1000.4

[Chris04626]

Im trying to point a dish to 61.5 and 77 I have managed to pick up real quick Mexico 77 or something and a nimiq one time But not getting anything near 61.5

I have my elevation set to what dishpointer says, with the little rod, How do i set the skew on this thing,i found where it says skew on the side but if i losen those nuts i cant get it to turn, i took the nuts off and the whole dish fell off, Im not seeing how its supposed to turn

Just lock in your settings and start pointing further to the left.

You loosened the wrong set of nuts. Log into Dish's website and download the manual for your dish.

Make sure you're selecting the "1000.4 (61.5W, 72.7W, 77W)" setting in the "Multi-LNB" section of Dishpointer.com. Your skew in Maine should be somewhere between 91 point something and 95 point something depending on your exact location.
