I use three methods to get my HD signal.
Dish pointer to scope out the area. Align-A-Site to get really close and birdog sat meter to lock on. Works great. Birdog allows my to be sure I have the correct satellite, and shows me the signal strength and quality without having to run in and out yelling at my wife or trying to see the TV from maybe 30 feet away. T get HD signal you need a better antenna. Get one of the packages from one of the many online retailers. It is well worth it at the end of the day.
