After a 2 year absence, I tried to set up my "Pay as you go" Dish Network account. After 2 days of talking to tech help, I could not obtain a signal. I talked to Winegard for help and they suggested I put a SAT finder app on my phone. After 15 minutes, I relocated the dish antenna and found it! Take away - All the Dish instructions say, "Make sure you have an unobstructed view of the southern sky". I did. After I found the SAT, it was nearly directly due west! This app was indispensable. "Satfinder". The earth map showed the exact spot where I was standing. I had a tree in the way. I moved the dish 15 feet north on the camper roof to bypass the tree as seen on the map and lo and behold a good signal!
