Getting harder to aim Slimline SWM
I've been aiming my Slimline dish (SWM) for years without as much trouble as I'm having now. I can move maybe 50 miles, where the settings don't change that much, but it can take a half-hour or more ...

I'd be surprised if anything changed with DTV in terms of aiming and reception, just way to many fixed dishes.
But DTV doesn't reveal very much. Apparently going to replace 103 and the SD 101 situation is clear as mud.
I would assume you would the center of the red mark and then fine tune? I'd go with the DTV azimuth. Any compass device like a smartphone is subject to magnetic variation and deviation let alone basic accuracy. A good compass might help but it's also subject to variation and deviation.
