If you have that much trouble in Louisiana I would hat to see how poorly it would preform in the far northern states where the signal is naturally degraded by latitude.

I'm using the Satfinder app for my Android tablet to see if anything is in the way of our Tailgater. Where we are sitting right now 110 is through a hole in tree branches, 119 is in the clear and 129 is totally blocked by a tall tree. Even if I had a regular dish I still would get 129. I'm at my nephews and no matter where I use the app I can't get all 3 satellites so it's 110 and 119 for the next few weeks. The new apps are great just use the devices camera and you can see exactly where the satellite is at.
