Directv dish setup made easy

[8.1al]

If you go to the following site and download the picture you will find a map of the US. On it will see longitudinal line with numbers on them. These numbers are the elevation setting for your dish. For example. We are presently near Las Vegas and the nearest line is 45 so I set the dish elevation at 45 degrees. If you are in say Orlando the setting will be around 51-52 degrees. Since regular DTV (not HD) uses the Easternmost sattelite I start out with my dish pointing towards the East and slowly rotate towards the West till I pick up a signal.
It's as easy as that. Unfortunately this won't work for HD.

Charlie, thanks. It sure looks like it will work. I have printed a copy and will keep it in the 5er.

Charlie, This is a great map and just so it doesn't get lost in the archives I will be adding it to the montanaowners.com
