I downloaded Satellite Director to my Andriod phone. I got a cheap ($15 shipped from eBay) signal meter too. Between the app and the signal meter it's very easy to get lined up (I'm using a Winegard MP-1). Satellite Director allows you to save favorites so it will remember the satellite you want to point at and provide aiming guidance based on your current GPS coordinates (provided by your cell phone). I found the elevation to be a little tricky if the dish isn't level, but I learned to trust the azimuth and compass advice from the app and to then mess with the elevation of the dish until the signal meter is screaming. Setup should be 10 minutes or less.
