Direct to stop SD transmission on Dec.31
Just spent 45 min on the phone with Tech support. Trying to get directv to let me change a good SD card from a broken SD receiver to a working receiver same model that I have. Would sell me a new card...

When I was aiming I realized there was rarely a need for a compass. Aim the dish somewhat NE based on other dishes the sun or whatever, same elevation as last time, gain up and rotate CW. Sometimes the first bird would be Dish and DW would tell me no DTV signal on the walkie talkie. Then with DTV captured optimize the bird with the meter.
Much faster than looking up azimuth, elevation, pre adjusting dish, searching for a signal and then adjusting the dish again to lock in the signal sometimes to find no DTV.
Reality check: Compass direction can vary considerably based on a lot of local factors from the bird azimuth. Plus I was cheap and didn't want to spend $400 for a meter to identify a DTV bird.
