Ok that's my setup, and I know how to set up and find the satellites 119 and 110 on my Limesat ultra but I'm having trouble setting the elevation and skew. Basically I took this DirectTv Slim Line Dish off my parents back porch and put it on this pole and now I'm just turning it left and right.

I didn't adjust the elevation or skew yet. Just by swiveling it left and right on the pole I found 110 one day and had the signal at 80 and quality at 99. But 119 was not coming in. I'm not sure how many wires I need to connect and if I need to use a splitter. I've only had to deal with the receiver before when I first had it hooked up.

I've found out that physically pointing the dish is a whole different ball game. Any suggestions. Thanks in advance!

How do I go about pointing it and hooking it up, since my Limesat only has one LNB In coaxial imput? And the LNB has 2 coaxial outputs 110, and 119.... Do I use a splitter, I got that switch...17676

But it has to coaxials on it, one coming out of the 110, and one out of 119, so do I just hook up one side...like hook up my line going to my receiver going to the 110 side and then it will pick up the 119 through the 110 side..?

I was confused by that last post. So I just hook up one line to one output on the LNB and that's it? No need to mess with the other output on the LNB?
