What I do is use a 18" dish i found on craigslist and grab the box out of the spare bedroom which is my only analog box the rest of the house is HD but I am not going to carry the big oval HD dish, The smaller round 18" dish is easier to carry and aim.
Before I leave I will get the azminth and elevation for the zip code I will be staying at off the internet then when ya get there point the dish to the southwest using a compass.
I have the dish pointing compass that I picked up at camping world where you set your azmuinth then find north and set your dish, I can usualy get 95% signal in about 5 min with a clear line of sight but if yer aiming thru a hole in the trees it make take ya longer.
Good Luck.
