Take a look at:

Edit:
Dish 500 is a multi focal point dish. Two LNBs side by side at the focus point(s) of the two birds it's pointed at. Large multpoint dishes have a parabolic curve in the vertical plane, and spherical in the horizontal. |
Finally someone is beginning to understand my dilemma. Yes, the dish is in fact a multi focus point dish. That is why I am scratching my head, somewhat confused.
I also have an older smaller round Dish network dish, maybe I should just use that instead? I believe that one is perfectly round.
I did find this link here inside the forums,

That is about as close as I can find here on the subject besides Primestar dishes. I guess I can just wing it, and do my best to find it, manually making fine tune adjustments and comparing results, which would be very time consuming. Rather not have to go this route if at all possible...
