Dish pointer app takes any doubt about a clear view. A rver next to me fussed with his dish for a couple of hours and gave up. I asked if I could help and it took ten seconds for me to suggest moving the dish. It looked ok but the app showed some branches clearly in the path. Moving the dish 6 feet and it was receiving signal immediately.
We have used Direct TV for years. We full time, and I have to set up a portable 18 inch dish to get to satellite 101. We use the standard dish (SD), not the high defination dish and system. SD works just fine, and You only have to siged in one satellite (101).
I have gotten pretty good at getting a satellite signal through the trees. I don't have one, but the best tool is the satellite finder on the app on smartphones. However, I am not smart enough for a smart phone, and don't know any 10 year old kids. That app is just amazing!!!
