Need some help from you pros out there


Signed up for Direct TV Satellite in Tuson...and are now back in MA.

Need to reposition satellite for new area and do not know how to do it.
Any help out there...any videos or on line instructions available.

We live in the RV, and are often traveling, so help from Direct is not realistic.

Any guidance would be appreciated.

Thank you

In setup mode on your receiver you input current zip code and it will then tell you everything you need. I assume you have some sort of alignment tools? If not, I suggest you invest in something like an Aligh-A-Site to aid in tuning your antenna
