How much difference between SD and HD
We can't find a carry-out antenna that will support DirecTV HD. How much difference is there in the clarity between SD and HD?

So, I guess, if we don't learn to point that dish the next couple of times, we're going with a Winegard Carry-Out or their other dome one. This dish is making me feel so stupid!
I got Dishpointer Pro and it shows azimuth as 150.5 while the TV (by zip code) shows 133.0. That's a big difference. The tilt is the about the same and the elevation is just a point or two off. Which do I believe? I tend to think the Dishpointer Pro because it's homing in on our campsite whereas the zip code might be 5 or 10 miles from where we are.
Believe the receiver as this is the information that the satellite installers depend upon. It's only a starting point and not an exact. Use that to get started and scan 10-15 degrees on each side of that number. If you are using an HD dish (multiple LNB's even if those happen to be in one housing like and SL3) setting the skew is also critical as well as ensuring the post the antenna is mounted to is perfectly plumb and level.
