Question about pointing Directv Dish

[czarqwerty]

I am considering switching from Dish Network to Directv. I have a lot of line of site issues because of trees. I do have a dish pointed at E* satellites 110 and 119. In what direction with the D* dish point in relation to this dish? (My zip is 17745 if that helps). I would like to know if it's even possible to get reception before making the switch.

Thanks for any help.

well D* is straight south... however the elevation degree, i dunno though. someone here will probably have a guide or knows what elevation you `need

D* azimuth and elevation info by zip code

Hi... You can go here,

Dish Pointer

enter your zip code and get info on Elevation and Azimuth...

For a zip of 17745, it shows an Elevation of 36.7 degree and an Azimuth of 224.3 degrees...

not on the coasts

The OP is on the east coast so his angle will be SW

For that area, 101 is at 37 elevation and 223 azimuth so almost dead SW

Great, thank you. There's a good chance I'll have an open view to that direction.
