I do notice that there's about a 5 degree difference of Azimuth settings, between the DirecTV website, and the receiver's information. I found the receiver to be more correct, as I used to have to almost always move the dish further west than the website had said.
Don't forget that the website is probably giving you true compass readings, you have to correct that for the local variation which changes with geographic location. You can find maps showing Magnetic Variation values on the internet.
