I'm new to hooking up a satellite dish. I want to know how to point the dish and is a satellite finder worth it. I'm tryin to find Echostar 10, but how do you know you have found it....

110 degrees is a longitude line over the USA. The satellites that orbit the Earth's equator synchronously with the Earth's rotation stay at the same relative point in the sky so that you can point your satellite dish toward them and the direction to the satellite won't change. So if you were living on the longitude 110 degree line in the US, you would look directly overhead and South to see the satellite.

110 degrees West Longitude, meaning the satellite is centered on that line of longitude (roughly somewhere along a line north-south that goes through Tucson, AZ).

it's the satellite's angle. 110 degrees is the angle to the west side

0 degrees is north, 180 is south
