I didn't use nothing....All we did after setting up the correct sat. (110) on the reciever (Viewsat Pro), is just move the dish which was at 91 deg. before, a small bit until I seen the signal. That dish is on top of our porch, so one person loosened the nut on dish, and ever so slitely moved it, until the other person in the living room seen the signal. We fine tuned it to get best strength. Took us about 10 minutes at most. From 91 deg to 100 deg is not much, and i don't think we had to adjust the vertical (azmith?????).

Using the dish pointing site you have an elevation, compass heading and skew. Once you have the dish settings correct you must have the correct settings in your receiver to be able to lock on and tweak the dish.

Which of the two dishes below do you have?

If the second is it a DishProPlus or just Dish Pro?
