You do need the bigger dish, and cannot get dish 500. You can get sattellite 119 which has most channels. Everything you'll need can be purchased up here for $114. The dish should point closer to 146 azimuth and 16 degrees elevation. I would recomend a satellite finder to help with the coarse adjustments. On your reciever (menu, 6, 1, 1) Set it to 119, spotbeam 9. That should be around 120 on the signal bar. Then check spotbeam 10 and it should be close to 70. spotbeam 9 might go from 125 to 120 to bring 10 up higher. If anyone will be coming up through Washington around the first part of June and wants to trade Dish's we won't need ours anymore. Any questions, e-mail me at
