express vu co-ordinates

[islandman4567]

could someone tell me the elevation and skew angles to pick up expressvu.

I'm trying to find the signal , but I'm not getting a signal at all .

I was using these settings.

compass direction 199.8
vertical elevation 37.8
skew 96.4

I'm in Toronto. I've done this before, and its never been this hard to find a signal. I'm assuming that I've got the wrong co-ordinates.

can anyone correct or confirm the numbers above for me.

thanks.

My guide says that Toronto has a compass direction of 207.1 and a vertical elevation of 38.3.
Try looking at someone else's dish to get a rough estimate. I had to do some major pruning of a tree to get mine just right.
