I'm sure he will be.. One more hint.
Some folks just can't seem to find the right satellit no matter how hard they try
If this happens then what you need is a classic.. A tin-foil hat
Not for you, but for one of the plastic lenses on the Twin LNB arm (The lens is the milky white plastic "hockey puck" shaped thing) if you stand behind the dish (Where you stand to adjust) the one on your left is 119, the one on your righ is 110. The hat goes on the one you do NOT want to find.
That way you can only see one sat at a time. The proper one one hopes
Then remove the hat before doing the check switch
Nothin adds excitment like something that is none of your business

Glad you said the "tin hat" for the plastic lens - I was going to make one for Gerry -- I'm sure he would look stunning in it....lol. (Yes, I am a smart a**)

But... Did you find the book? The things that I put away for "safe keeping" are usualy never seen again !
Good Luck with the dish set up! You have found a great place to get advice.

Thanks for the Hat trick! I was really thinking about buying a Align-A-Site. The tin hat might just work for me, cause I usually can get it close, but not good at horseshoes.

One thing not mentioned - be sure the pole to the dish is plum! This is one of the most important settings when moving the dish. If out of plum, the other settings will not work correctly.
When you get frustrated and mad, re-plum the pole. More often then not this is the problem. I was told this a long time ago by an installer and he was so right.
