well that depends on your location
Expressvu is at 91 and 82 degrees west...most is on 91 with HD on 82
So as an example, I am in MN so mine is almost straight south. If you live in NY, it will be to the west and LA it would be towards the east

well it takes a little more than that
the dish needs to be skewed so it can pick up both satellites, since they are not the same spot.
Normally people aim for 91 and 82 falls into place.
to find the angles (elevation of the dish), azimuth (where to aim) and skew go here

under satellite put 86.5 (this is 1/2 way between 82 & 91) and find the nearest city and it will give you the numbers. Note that skew number given is either added or subrtacted from 90.
So as an example, I'll use NYC. I get
41 elevation
213 azimuth
skew of 114
