To find teh compass heading you need one of three things
Best: A DISH network receiver.. Go to MENU SETUP ANTENNA, enter the proper satellite (if not always entered) 119 will do, and your zip code, the heading will be displayed.
A DirecTV receiver, same process, IF it will let you do it that is.
A Cell phone app. SAT FINDER will do nicely
NOTE: Dish used 3 Birds 119 is in the middle you need to see 110 and I think 127 as well. So use the phone app for all 3.
The Phone app uses the phone's camera so let you actually "Look" at the sat (it will give you crosshairs) You can then look for trees in the way.
