You need to invite me and point the dish toward 116.8 degrees W
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.You are pointing at the 116.8W Orbital slot, which is not actually 116.8W on a compass. You'll want to go to https://www.dishpointer.com/ and select the 116.8W SATMEX 8 Satellite and input your address or GPS coordinates. It will give you the correct Azimuth and Elevation to point your dish. Be sure you use the Magnetic Azimuth coordinate when scouting with a compass. In Charlotte, NC the correct coordinates are 239.3°SW @ 34.2° of Elevation.
