Direct TV satellite elevation and azimuth settings.

I've always used http://www.directv.com/DTVAPP/customer/dishPointer.jsp to set the elevation and azimuth settings on my dish while traveling. All I needed was the zip code. This site no longer works. After 2 hours on the phone and internet with Direct I have no where else to turn to find these numbers. Can anyone be of any help?

There is no way you could be talking to Directv and they not tell you your numbers are right there in the receiver, using zip code or coordinates.

I use Dishpointer to get the sat settings for our DirecTV. Just select your type of dish and satellite needed and location and it will take you to the map and give you the settings. Just remember to use the Magnetic AZ not True AZ.

I tried to find the Winegard app on Google Play but couldn't locate it? A million others but no Winegard. I wonder if Winegard took it off??

See this Winegard App for your cell phone. It works for all Sats and OTA.

If you put in your location and select the correct dish setup, this website will have the elevation and azimuth required: https://www.dishpointer.com/

I havenโ€™t had DTV for awhile but it used to be in the box. Go to menu, installation or setup, find the right screen, enter zip and you get the info.

Which receiver do you have?
