Anyone travel with a Dish Hopper?
It seems that Dish is making it harder and harder for us travelers to get aimed. First they stopped including the aiming coordinates on the receiver ( I did find the aiming tables on the internet) ...

I've been aiming our 1000.4 dish as often as daily using the arc with the best view since 2008. We've been using our Hopper w/Sling in our fulltiming motorhome since 2013. I use the Dish Pointer website for the most accurate elevation and skew numbers, and either the Dish Pointer app or the Winegard pointing app on my phone to find the best line of sight. Years ago I bought a $50 digital meter that identifies which satellite it detects along with the signal strength and quality readings. My typical setup/aiming time is under 15 minutes even if I need to swap LNBF's. I typically hit the 72.7 sat on the eastern arc or the 119 sat on the western arc as my starting point, and then tweak from there for best all around signals.
