You must not have stayed in some of the parks we've been in where there's no good southern exposures on any site, just a few holes through the branches where careful positioning of a portable dish gets you one or two satellites on one arc or the other. The two photos below from our current site show where the Dish western arc and DTV birds are, followed by the hole where my dish could see the Dish eastern arc sats. What doesn't show, is the 100' of coax from our tripod mounted dish back to the motorhome.
How did you get those images showing where the satellites are? Is there really a way you find a hole through trees for the CG site you are in?
We've just installed sat TV and only use sat 82 (HD) with one LNB and have used it maybe 1/2 dozen times so far. Have been lucky to find sites where we can get a signal. Took me while to figure out that the dish doesn't aim along it's centerline to a sat but is at a 22 degree angle. I read somewhere that you can site a line from the rear/bottom of your dish to the top of the LNB to see approx. where you are aiming. There's got to be a better way.
