azimuth, elevation, and tilt

[phatmatt]

I don't know if this is the same on every tivo, or if they are different for everyone...

When I go to check my signal strength I see the azimuth, elevation, and tilt with the following values:

azimuth=205
elevation=35
tilt=73


Now, when I went to the D* website and checked what it should be for my zipcode, I got the following numbers:

azimuth=192.2
elevation=37.4

Are these close enough, or should I have someone come and see if he can get them close to what the web site says?

Thanks.

Probably different dishes ....

The numbers from your Receiver are for your 3-LNB multisatellite dish, while the numbers from DirecTV's web site are for the original 18" round single LNB dish that's just aimed at the main 101-deg satellite.

Are you having any reception problems? If not, leave well enough alone.
