KENBOB
119 is about 3" to the right of 110 and about 2" higher so skew the dish |

KENBOB your very close if you have 110 don't move the dish just yet, try skewing it first, it's approx.2" higher if looking from the back, |

Thanks, for helpful sites.
Can I receive 119 sat signal on my 20" dish in Edmonton? Tried some many times without any luck. |

Can't get all local channels on 119? Do I need a channel list that has those channels? I've been doing blind scans but I always get the same channels. |

@newbiehere
Channel lists won't help if your dish is not aligned properly. |

Thx h3lt3r
Mainly, I trying to get all Los Angeles local channels. So far I can get ABC, CBS, Fox so I don't think the dish is misaligned. I'm trying to get the rest of them. I've done several blind scans but always get the same channels. Any other suggestion? |

Almost all other locals if you're on the west coast are on 148w sat, if you're not on the west coast they're on 121w sat. |

I'll try that. However on lyngsat.c I noticed the LA channels are on 119 not 148 or 121. As I mentioned before I'm getting a couple of channels already in the LA region but not all of them. Thanks for your inputs, h3lt3r. |

I'm sorry they are on 119, TP15, don't know what I was thinking.
Try scanning that TP, coordinates are TP15: 12428 V 20000.
If that doesn't work try loading a channel list, won't hurt checking that. |
