Is there anyway to contact someone about getting a dish aligned without going through Directv in the New Jersey area?

Do you know Sarah Ashton from Sanibel Island? She is a family friend in real estate.

Yes, I have met her at a Chamber of Commerce function here on the island. My wife knows her much better than I do, though.

How about that! I haven't seen her in MANY years. Tell her Chip from Cheshire says hi the next time you see her.

Verify that the mast is "plumb" and he dish is pointed south (180 degrees).
Swing the dish right (from rear / west from 180) , set at the el for your zip.........and you got it.

The first several hundred were a bit daunting but you get a feel for it; it is like pointing at books on a shelf......99.....101.103.......110......119. The numbers refer to West Longitude ( SW).The EL elevation) and TILT should be set at exactly as noted on the DTV screens-------enter zip & get AZ )compass)...EL and Tilt / skew.

Get good at this,
