what i do when there are no markings for elevation on a particular dish is compare it to one i allready have with markings of elevation already on it then trasfer them to the one with none -- this allways works for me -- lots of luck

Thanks for trying to help but i have a dish set for my Nfusion on 110 w 119w but elevation is different from 101w,I've put up the dish for 101w and put on 63.1 for the elevation and put in the Captive works the frequency 12032 and Sid 3004 i rotate the dish but i don't have no signal,i went to point dish.com and it seem that i have a red dot as an obstacle it says by the red dot
D=163and H=106.6ft, does this means i have a tree nearby,i set the dish on the roof next to the dn 110w 119 so unless i'm putting the right full parameters on the receiver, this is what i'm putting in the CapiveWorks receiver for RTPI channel.
AMC4 101W frequency= 12032 ,polarisation Horz , symbol rate=3004,Fec Auto,network search =no search type All,tell me if i'm doing anything Wrong thanks in advance.

I tryed all day to set up to point the dish at ku band AMC4 101W with no avail.50%but no Quality at all on the Cworks.
I'm at Providence Boston area and,i did correct the Freq. and Sid i only get around 48% SIGNAL with no quality,i also notice the Lnb bracket has engraved Lnb Skew 20 to the left and 20 to the right with increments of 5 but the dish pointer instructions for my area i need to set Skew to 29.2 degrees but the the bracket that holds the Lnb says 0nly 20 to left and 20 to the right. I don't know why i get not quality signal maybe this LNB is not good for Ku band AMC 4 101 degrees west? i also notice that my dn 119 110 setup just maybe 2 feet from where i set up this dish has the two LNBs one for 119w and 110w,what i notice is that in the ark for sats should be 110w on the left and 119 to the right two Lnbs on a single dish,but what i get is on dn is 119 to the left and 110 to the right side by side.That's confusing, anybody have any clues? i would appreciate all the help you can give me.

when the signals for 119 and 110 bounce off the dish they cross - thus the LNBs seeming opposite from the locations in the sky
