Radio Shack does sell the "satellite finder". Around $30-40. I use it all the time for the set-up. I keep the "beep-beep" from the TV signal strength indicator muted...sometimes I'm too far away to hear it, and it drives me, and more importantly, DW, crazy...so it stays off.
Level and secure the tripod(stakes, water buckets, whatever). Preset proper elevation for your location, hook up the satellite finder at the antenna, then make a very slow sweep in the general direction all the other neighbors antennas are pointing. At very best signal strength, verify it is showing as valid the TV signal indicator, then lock the azmuth. Then "fine tune" the elevation for best/best signal. That's it!! 3-5 min, tops..
