I am in a campground in Bow Washington. My satellite antenna can't seem to find a satellite. The campground lists Direct TV as 133 Azimuth and 31 elevation which of course means nothing to me as I just press the power button until it says connecting to antenna and then wait for it to lock onto the satellites. It searches forever but finds nothing. There are many trees around but I have positioned myself in the clear especially when looking at where other (ground level) dishes are pointed. Is it possible that since my dish is on the roof of the motorhome I just can't get low enough to lock onto the 31 elevation? It worked perfectly in the last campground which was about 3 hours south of here.
They're are a couple apps for smart phones that all you have to do is point it in the direction of the satellite and it will show you a dot in the sky on the screen where the satellite is and will show if there is a tree in the way. I use DP AR PRo for direc tv
