You CANNOT use a compass or anything else like that to verify you are on the 101 SAT. Your model KVH can lock onto ALL sats, one at a time
101--107-110-119(there are a lot more), are within a narrow scope and your compass cannot be accurate enough to determine you are on the correct sat. The KVH(IF programmed for Direct tv) will lock onto a sat. You then use Transponder 19 and see if you get a signal. IF NOT, you tell the dome to find another Sat, you then see if you get signal. When you find the CORRECT Sat(101) you will get a signal on Transponder 19. The KVH will remember THIS sat when you reacquire later on. You also may need a Software update from KVH for this model to work correctly. Doug
