how much more difficult is it to set up a portable HD dish opposed to a typical single lnb dish?
For starters, there are no beeps from the receiver like the old days. So, you either need 2 people, a meter, or, some way to watch the TV screen from outside. I use a Swift Hitch camera.
Takes practice. And even then sometimes it can take me 20 minutes. I find the hardest part is knowing exactly where the sats are and then translating that to the azimuth angle. It isn't always right where the DTV screen says it is. There are many phone apps to help locate, which I also use.
