Pointing question

[piperman]

Using Dish 500 with one duel LNB 118, 119 and single 110. Living on the Northeast and pointing towards Echo star 7, I would like to change to Ciel2 where all the HD is. Ciel2 is about 20 degrees more and the elevation is lower to I think 16.6. Should I re point my dish or leave it where it is? I ask only because I am getting to old to climb on the roof. I guess we all will. Thanks

I would suggest finding another dish and mounting it to point at either 61.5 or 129 (whatever's easier, they're basically the same). It shouldn't be too hard to get your hands on a cheap dish 500, especially after N3. The reason why I suggest that is that it would be easy enough (since you're gonna go point a dish anyway) and you'd have all the channels you have now, but with the HD you want too. And that way if you don't like having only 61.5 or 129 it won't mean another trip up to the roof for you.

So I guess I do have to repoint the dish. Maybe I will look into another dish like you said. I can not get my local channels on Ciel2 anyway. Thank you
