Does antbody have the settings for Dish Net

Hi, Its me again Georgia and I have decided to sneak into Alberta Canada and the town is Calgary, July 9th thru the 15th,
I called Dish Network for the Asmis,Elevation and Skew, they did not have the settings for out of the USA. We'rehoping that just maybe one of you out there in the MOC might have those numbers to throw our way, or if you know weather it will work at all up there, I cant emagin why it could not work.
your help in this matter will be appreaceated.

Thanks Don

Don,
When we were in Calgary a few years ago we had no trouble hitting the DirecTV bird. And the Dish is very near the same site so you should have no trouble. We even hit the internet bird. At the time we had the Hughes Network setup. The angle was fairly low but no problems.

Good luck and have fun.

By the way if you like dinosaurs you MUST visit Drumheller. It is about 50 miles north and east of Calgary. It has a world class museum that is NOT to be missed.

The site I gave you works all over North America. Type in your Postal Code Or Zip Code scroll down the Satellite list and pick the one or ones you use click on find and it give you the directions in True And Magnetic bearings. This is the best one I ever used out of 6 different ones I have tried. I just checked and it gives you positions in Mexico also.

Thanks Don, I have a dish net pro 500 I use sat # 110 & 119 when I'm out and about.
I did enter those numbers in the information line like I used the zip and I got nothing then I tried the Lon/Lat numbers and got the same results nada. maybe I am putting them down inproperly.
I'll try your numbers and see what happens. I'll write in my results.

Thanks Don.

On Edit: I got it to work properly Thanks Don

The 110/119 are the same as I got on the other one.
Address: (221)101 St SW , Calgary, ab
Latitude: 51.0843°
Longitude: -114.2342°

Satellite: 110W & 119W
Elevation: 31.5°
Azimuth (true): 180.4°
Azimuth (magn.): 164.8°

If you have to set the skew use the Montana setting as you will be North of central Montana.
