satellite dish setup

A few questions for those of you with tripod-mounted satellite dishes:

- Dish provides azimuth & elevation angles for a given zip code. How do you set up the antenna to these angles when you relocate?
- Is a simple compass adequate for azimuth - at least getting close?
- I saw a $42.00 "signal strength" meter from CW. Do you have any experience with it or something similar? Our installer had a "magic box" that costs $600+; seems to me there has to be a suitable, less costly way.
- what's your experience with tripod levelers?

As usual, many thanks,
-Bob
