DirecTV SWM3 Slimline Dish on Tripod--How Hard Is It to Aim?

Hard/easy? Depends on the tools you choose to use. Personally I use three tools. Dishpointer pro on my phone to find a good location. Align-A-Site mounted on the dish to get close. Birdog meter to fine tune. All of these are done before I bother to hook up the receiver. When I hook up the receiver and do the setup procedure for the receiver it is locked in and done. The nice thing is that I do not have to plumb or level the tripod before hand. Then Align-A-Site compensates for out of level.
