I have DP 500 Trying to tune in to nimiq 2 and 1.
I am keeping the same set up I had with DN. I am having a hard time getting the right Elev. and Skew. Azimuth may be okay. Nimiq 2 has quality but 1 does not. Anyhelp help appreciated. Thank you.

If Nimiq 1 has no quality and nimiq 2 doesn't then move your dish only a little bit west wards and see what happens.

Isn't it east (not west), and few degrees up (elev)?

Thank you moe, scanning as I'm typing. BIN Chi, I moved it just slightly west and a few degrees up(elev). The quality:
Nimiq 1= 77
Nimiq 2= 48 (still in the green)
I am more concerned with getting 1 than 2 because from reading here there may still be some quality channels on Nimiq 1.
Anyway, thank you guys.

Thanks Story and Mike. That is the site that I used and I installed satfinder. Great tools.
Navy sea, the sites given here can help you out. I founf out when it was calculated you'll get a negative skew, not sure what tool I used but all you have to do is substract that number from 90 degrees.
